Brief Description
This panel contains 5 micrograms of DNA/well from 91 unique and unrelated White individuals from North America with generalized epilepsy. Of these, 39 are males and 52 females, with an age range at onset from 1-10 years. Two samples are duplicated as internal controls (ND01284, wells F02 and F06, and ND06663, wells H03 and H10), and three wells remain empty for additional laboratory controls.Phenotypic data collected on these subjects consisted of Epilepsy Clinical Data Elements as outlined in the Coriell NINDS Genetics Repository guidelines. For each of the samples present in this panel the cause of epilepsy is unknown, and it is not associated with another neurological condition (e.g. mental retardation or a birth defect).All samples and data were collected with informed consent under local IRB approved protocols. These samples are generously shared by Drs. Russell Buono, Dr. Jeffrey Noebels, and Dr. Terry Scattergood.Publications
