          Abstract

          Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is characterized by a strong family history of epileptic seizures, which predominantly occur during sleep. ADNFLE has been associated with mutations in two genes coding for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRNA4 and CHRNB2). Thus far, three different mutations have been detected in the CHRNA4 gene, and two in the CHRNB2 gene. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of psychiatric disorders in two ADNFLE families with different CHRNA4 mutations (776ins3 and Ser248Phe).
