ABSTRACT:
A mammalian KIR 4.1 gene and gene products which are predictive of a susceptibility or predisposition to neurological disorders such as multiple epilepsy phenotypes are provided. Methods of predicting an individual's susceptibility in developing or having a neurological disorder via detection of these diagnostic markers are also provided. In addition, compositions and methods for identifying compositions for use in the treatment of neurological disorders via these genes and gene products are described.
