Four New Families with Autosomal Dominant Partial Epilepsy with Auditory Features: Clinical Description and Linkage to Chromosome 10q24

Abstract

These findings provide strong confirmation of linkage of a gene causing ADPEAF to chromosome 10q24. The results suggest that the susceptibility gene has a differential effect on the lateral temporal lobe, thereby producing the characteristic clinical features described here. Molecular studies aimed at the identification of the causative gene are underway.
