Epilepsy genetics: an abundance of riches for biologists.

Twenty-five genes have been identified in which mutations cause epileptic seizures in mice. The gene for a Na+/H+ exchanger has recently been found to underlie the spontaneous mutant slow wave epilepsy. Studies of such mutants should help elucidate the mechanisms that control neuronal excitability.
