Seven hundred and eighty unrelated German IGE patients (250 CAE, 123 juvenile absence epilepsy, 303 juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), 104 epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures on awakening) and 559 healthy population controls were genotyped for the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4906902.

The present population-based association study tested whether the C-allele of rs4906902 confers susceptibility to CAE or other common syndromes of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) in a German sample.
However, allele frequencies of rs20317 and rs4906902 were not significantly associated with 48 rCAE patients in comparison to >500 controls matched for ethnicity and ancestral origin.

We report that maternal transmission of a GABRB3 signal peptide variant (P11S), previously implicated in childhood absence epilepsy, is associated with autism.
