Genetics of epilepsy: an overview.

Abstract excerpt

Studies of the genetics of epilepsy have, until recently, involved epidemiologic or segregation analyses of phenotypic characteristics of a number of seizure disorders. Technical advances in molecular biology involving gene mapping and gene identification have made it possible to examine the heritability of various epilepsy syndromes. Using "reverse genetics" or positional cloning, it is possible to identify an...
