Genetic heterogeneity in familial nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy / ortrud K. Steinlein -- Potassium channel genes and benign familial neonatal epilepsy / Snezana Maljevic, Holger Lerche -- Mutant GABA receptor subunits in genetic (idiopathic) epilepsy / Shinichi Hirose -- The role of calcium channel mutations in human epilepsy / Antonio Gambardella, Angelo Labate -- Mechanisms underlying epilepsies associated with sodium channel mutations / Ortrud K. Steinlein -- The progressive myoclonus epilepsies / Berge A. Minassian -- Genetics advances in autosomal dominant focal epilepsies : focus on DEPDC5 / Stéphanie Baulac -- PRRT2 : a major cause of infantile epilepsy and other paroxysmal disorders of childhood / Carlo Nobile, Pasquale Striano -- LGI1 : from zebrafish to human epilepsy / John K. Cowell -- Morphogenesis timing of genetically programmed brain malformations in relation to epilepsy / Harvey B. Sarnat, Laura Flores-Sarnat -- Remind me again what disease we are studying? A population genetics, genetic analysis, and real data perspective on why progress on identifying genetic influences on common epilepsies has been so slow / David A. Greenberg, William L. Stewart -- Monogenic models of absence epilepsy : windows into the complex balance between inhibition and excitation in thalamocortical microcircuits / Atul Maheshwan, Jeffrey L. Noebels -- New technologies in molecular genetics : the impact on epilepsy research / Ingo Helbig -- Epigenetic mechanisms in epilepsy / Katja Kobow, Ingmar Blümcke.
Summary: The book chapters cover different aspects of epilepsy genetics, starting with the ""classical"" concept of epilepsies as ion channel disorders. The second part of the book gives credit to the fact that by now non-ion channel genes are recognized as equally important causes of epilepsy. The concluding chapters are designed to offer the reader insight into current methods in epilepsy research. Each chapter is self-contained and deals with a selected topic of interest. <ul><li>Authors are the leading experts in the field of epilepsy research</li><li>Book covers the most important aspects
