Progress in the Genetics of the Partial Epilepsies [PDF]

Epilepsia, 2001
Summary: The importance of genetic contributions to the partial epilepsies is now well established. Evidence for this genetic contribution has come from familial aggregation studies, twin studies, positional cloning of specific genes that raise risk, and clinical descriptions of families.

Common genetic variation and susceptibility to partial epilepsies: a genome-wide association study [PDF]

Brain : a journal of neurology, 2010
Partial epilepsies have a substantial heritability. However, the actual genetic causes are largely unknown. In contrast to many other common diseases for which genetic association-studies have successfully revealed common variants associated with disease

Large-scale cortico-subcortical functional networks in focal epilepsies: The role of the basal ganglia

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2017
Objectives: The aim was to describe the contribution of basal ganglia (BG) thalamo-cortical circuitry to the whole-brain functional connectivity in focal epilepsies. Methods: Interictal resting-state fMRI recordings were acquired in 46 persons with focal

Dominant partial epilepsies. A clinical, electrophysiological and genetic study of 19 European families. [PDF]

Brain : a journal of neurology, 2000
Nineteen families with autosomal dominant partial epilepsy were analysed clinically and electrophysiologically in detail. Seventy-one patients were studied as well as 33 non-epileptic at-risk family members.
