Genetic epidemiology of epilepsy or what do we tell families?

Epilepsia - 1 Jan 2005

Winawer Melodie R, Shinnar Shlomo

Abstract excerpt

Over the past few decades, epidemiologic and molecular research has transformed the field of epilepsy genetics. In this review, we discuss the ways in which accumulating evidence on the genetics of epilepsy and febrile seizures can inform health care practitioners advising patients and families with epilepsy. We will review the epidemiologic data from twin and family studies, and illustrate how it can be used to...
