Abstract excerpt
Genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) including childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and GGE with tonic-clonic seizures (TCS) (GGE-TCS), is genetically influenced with a two- to four- fold increased risk in the first-degree relatives of patients. Since large families with GGE are very rare, international studies have focused on sporadic GGE patients using whole...
