We argue that there is some specificity to the types of epilepsy that follow febrile seizures, rather than febrile seizures being a nonspecific marker of a lowered seizure threshold. The relationship between febrile seizures and later epilepsy is frequently genetic. Recent clinical and molecular genetic studies suggest that there are a number of syndrome-specific genes for febrile seizures. | Gov't Doc #: | 9551293 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13589 | Journal: | Current opinion in neurology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9551293 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Child Child, Preschool Disease Susceptibility Epilepsy.epidemiology.genetics.physiopathology Female Humans Infant Male Pedigree Risk Factors Seizures, Febrile.epidemiology.genetics.physiopathology Syndrome |
