Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: A crucial issue in the genetic analysis of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is deciding on the phenotypes that are likely to give the greatest power to detect predisposing variants. A complex inheritance pattern and unclear nature of the genotype-phenotype correlation makes this task difficult. In the absence of much definitive genetic information to clarify this correlation, we inferred the...
