A genetic locus for sensory epilepsy precipitated by contact with hot water maps to chromosome 9p24.3-p23.

Abstract excerpt

Hot water epilepsy (HWE) is a rare form of sensory epilepsy where seizures are precipitated by a stimulus of contact with hot water. While earlier studies have suggested causal role of genes for HWE, specific underpinnings are beginning to be explored only recently. We carried out a whole genome-based linkage analysis in a family where most of its members affected by HWE and found evidence of a previously unknown...
