内容説明
Research on the correlation between genetics and epilepsy is undergoing significant change. Advances in neurochemistry, cell biology, and molecular genetics are making hypotheses about the role of genetics in epileptogenesis more testable. In this book are reported the results of the third international conference held on genetics and epilepsy in June 1990 in Minnesota. Genetic Strategies in Epilepsy Research is divided into three sections: The first section deals with current knowledge of clinical and epidemiological studies; in particular, the relationship between underlying genetic entities and the present classification system for epilepsies and epileptic syndromes. The second section focuses on seven major databases which have helped formulate the hypotheses currently under test in family studies and genetic analysis, which are available for further analysis. One of the clearest advances made between two earlier workshops and this present conference was the mapping of two genetic loci for different types of epilepsy to specific chromosomes.
