Abstract:
:The marriage rate of epileptic patients was 62% in males and 78% in females. Compared with the rates in the general population, the male patients had a 15% lower rate, but there was no difference in females. There were 263 patients with at least one offspring selected for the study. There were 234 sons and 272 daughters (506 total, 1.9 per patient). Distribution by types of seizure was awakening grand mal, absence or myoclonic petit mal in 24%, grand mal with no aura in 21%, grand mal during sleep in 23%, diffuse grand mal in 7%, grand mal with aura in 13%, psychomotor seizure in 9%, and focal seizure in 3%. The probands were composed of 79% idiopathic and 21% symptomatic in pathogenetic classification. An epileptic EEG abnormality was demonstrated in 22% of male and 44% of female probands. The incidence of seizures among offspring was 2.4% (4.2% age-corrected) in a narrow sense (epilepsy) and 9.1% in a broad sense including febrile convulsions. The latter morbidity was 11.0% for the idopathic and 3.2% for the symptomatic group; 11.0% for female and 6.9% for male probands; 10.2% for sons and 8.1% for daughters. The figure was higher for the probands with the age range at onset of seizure of 0--4 years (20.6%) and 20--29 years (12.6%) than for those with other age ranges; higher for those with awakening grand mal, absence, myoclonic petit mal, for those with family history of epilepsy than those without it. Possible correlation of types of seizure between probands and offspring was demonstrated. Thirty-seven percent of offspring exhibited epileptic EEG abnormalities, and the ratio of epileptic EEG abnormalities to clinical manifestation is about 4:1. Possible existence of familial aggregation of EGG abnormalities and of two kinds of families with large or small epileptic predisposition was indicated. The importance of the role of hereditary and environmental factors in epileptic pathogenesis is proved, and the results of an investigation of congenital malformation among offspring of epileptic mothers are presented. These results were considered to be useful for genetic counseling of epileptic patients.
