Association of the Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit α4 Polymorphisms with Febrile Convulsions

Abstract

This study demonstrated an association between the CHRNA4 gene and FCs. Individuals with the T allele had a higher incidence of FCs. These data suggest that the CHRNA4 gene or a closely linked gene might be one of the susceptibility factors for FCs.
