Do idiopathic generalized epilepsies share a common susceptibility gene?

Abstract excerpt

Molecular genetic research in epilepsy is most promising in the homogeneous, genetically determined forms of the disease. The phenotype-genotype strategy used makes some epileptic syndromes more suitable for such study than others. Unequivocal clinical presentation, mendelian transmission with similar clinical expression in close relatives, and sufficiently large numbers of affected families are requisites. This...
