Benign infantile familial convulsions are not an allelic form of the benign familial neonatal convulsions gene (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract
This study investigates whether the gene responsible for benign familial neonatal convulsions (BFNC) is also implicated in benign infantile familial convulsions (BIFC). Through linkage analysis of eight families with BIFC and genetic markers D20S19 and D20S20 on chromosome 20q, the findings reveal that the BFNC gene is not responsible for BIFC. The study presents detailed observations on the clinical characteristics of BIFC and supports the notion that these two conditions are genetically distinct.
