A permutation test is proposed for assessing affection status models. The test uses marker data from regions with prior evidence of linkage to susceptibility genes, and three different test statistics are examined. We applied the test to the GAW10 data and found no evidence on chromosome 18 to rejec
Recent clinical and laboratory data suggest that there is a link between neuronal migration disorders (NMD) and increased seizure threshold. To characterize an animal model with features similar to human NMD and to assess seizure susceptibility, NMD were induced in the rat at the time of neuroblasti
