## Abstract Epilepsy and electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities have been considered exclusion criteria for the clinical diagnosis of myoclonusβdystonia (MβD). We report on the second MβD family in which several clinically affected Ο΅βsarcoglycan gene (SGCE) mutation carriers have seizures in addi
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a candidate gene extensively explored in several association studies of bipolar disorder (BD). However, because of conflicting results of independent studies and low statistical power of individual studies to detect small differences between cases and controls, reliable
Mitochondria1 defects may be involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by lowering the oxidative phosphorylation efficiency at an earlier age. To investigate the possible contribution of an inherited mitochondrial DNA defect to familial AD (FAD), we examined the Genetic Analysis Workshop (GAW) data for e
Alpha5 and beta3 GABA A receptor genes are major candidates for epilepsy, as they code for subunits of the most important human inhibitory neurotransmitter. Moreover, they are located within a region of the human genome previously implicated in disorders including epilepsy. We carried out an associa
In an earlier study of families with two or more sibs affected with a cleft of the lip with or without clefts of the palate, we found no evidence for close linkage of HLA with this malformation. In the present study, we confine our attention to isolated cleft palate, an entity that is genetically di
