Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the role of the genetic variants of two synaptic vesicle proteins (VAMP2 and Synaptotagmin XI) and two presynaptic plasma membrane proteins (Syntaxin 1A and SNAP-25) in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).
Method: Eighty-five patients with IGE and 93 healthy subjects were included in the study. We analyzed the functional polymorphisms of VAMP2, Synaptotagmin XI, Syntaxin 1A and SNAP-25 genes with polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods.
