The occurrence of epilepsy and febrile seizures in Virginian and Norwegian twins

1 Sept 1991

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies provide an efficient method for examining the importance of genetic and environmental factors in the etiology of disorders such as epilepsy. Population-based twin registries are especially valuable for studies of this type since effects of reporting and self-selection biases on the resulting data are minimized. Among 14,352 twin pairs contained in the Virginia and Norwegian twin panels for whom...
