Benign rolandic epilepsy (BRE) is considered to be a genetically determined idiopathic partial epilepsy. We studied twins with BRE and compared the concordance with a twin sample of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). All eight BRE pairs (six monozygous [MZ], two dizygous [DZ]) were discordant. M

Torus palatinus (TP) represents a benign anatomic variation. It has been suggested that genetic factors play a leading role in its occurrence. The purpose of the present study was to determine, by segregation analysis, the inheritance of TP. Data were collected from members of 37 randomly selected I
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is defined as random deviations from bilateral symmetry of the body. Thus, its magnitude is often used to evaluate developmental homeostasis. In this study we evaluate the following hypotheses: 1) FA of dermatoglyphic traits has a significant genetic component; 2) prenatal
