Abstract excerpt
Benign familial infantile seizures (BFIS) is an autosomal dominant epileptic syndrome characterized by afebrile partial seizures with or without secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures beginning at three to ten months of age. Genetic studies have revealed three susceptibility chromosomal loci on 19q12-q13.1, 16p12-q12 and 2q24. Previously we described the novel locus on 1p36.12-p35.1 for a Chinese family...
