Importance of genetic factors in the occurrence of epilepsy syndrome type: a twin study.

Epilepsy research - 1 Nov 2011

Abstract excerpt

Although there is strong evidence that genetic factors contribute to risk for epilepsy, their role in the determination of syndrome type is less clear. This study was undertaken to address this question. Information related to epilepsy was obtained from twins included in 455 monozygotic and 868 dizygotic pairs ascertained from population-based twin registries in Denmark, Norway and the United States. Syndrome...
