Abstract
A chromosome hot point, 3p14, in healthy peasants, mentally retarded patients (MR), and epileptic patients (EP) was studied. The frequency of the hot point, 3p14 break, was significantly higher in EP. It may be caused by folic acid reduction in patients' serum induced by the antiepileptic drugs. The difference between hot point and fragile site is discussed.Entities:
