inheritance of epilepsy
Sun, 04/30/2006 - 01:18Hi guys,
I need your help on understanding the inheritance of epilepsy. I have a few questions i hope some of you may be able to help me out. I am confused about whether epilepsy is a chromosomal or gene disorder, but i cant seem to figure out which chromosome it affects. Can someone tell me which chromosome is correct, and the likely chance of passing it on to an offspring.
if you could help me out i would very much appreciate it.
thank you
~roger

Hi Roger, Here's a good link to the ILAE site, on types of seizures. I looked at a few of the "familial" types, and they refer to chromosomes that are affected.
