THE METHOD OF DETECTING THE CACNA1H MUTANT GENE OF CHILDHOOD ABSENCE EPILEPSY-THE MAIN FUNCTION GENE, AND THE CACNA1H MUTANT GENE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of detecting the CACNA1H mutant gene of childhood absence epilepsy-the main function gene, the said method is directly sequencing or restriction analysis. The present invention relates to CACNA1H mutant gene. The present invention further relates to the use of the said detection and mutant gene. The present invention connects the CACNA1H gene with medicine for treating childhood absence epilepsy, proving new target site for medicine for treating the same. The present invention establishes the foundation for developing new medicines for treating childhood absence epilepsy and other type of idiopathic system epilepsy as well as other system diseases associated with CACNA1H gene.
