Abstract excerpt
Febrile seizures (FS) and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) were found in four of the seven siblings born to healthy Moroccan consanguineous parents. We hypothesized autosomal recessive (AR) inheritance. Combined linkage analysis and autozygosity mapping of a genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping identified a unique identical by descent (IBD) locus of 9.6 Mb on human chromosome 8q12.1-q13.2. Sequencing...
