Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of febrile seizures (FSs) in large autosomal dominant FS kindreds makes possible accurate delineation of the pure clinical phenotype of hereditary FS among secondary FS cases, and the identification of gene loci causing susceptibility to FS. Recently FS gene loci on chromosomes 8 and 19 were identified. We studied the phenotype of FS in four large families in which FS is an autosomal dominant...
