Abstract:
:Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a distinct subform of idiopathic generalized epilepsy of adolescence. Linkage studies with Bf and serologic HLA markers in families of JME patients have shown a tight linkage on chromosome 6. We present a linkage analysis with HLA-DQ restriction fragment length polymorphisms on more extended families, paying particular attention to the epilepsy type of the affected family members. We studied 21 families of JME patients with a total of 143 family members and obtained a highest logarithm of the odds (lod) score of 3.9 (theta m = 0.01, theta f = 0.01) assuming a dominant mode of inheritance and 70% penetrance when family members with JME, absence epilepsy, or epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) were considered as affected. When we also classified clinically normal family members with generalized spike-wave discharges in the EEG as "affected," the maximum lod score was 4.1 (theta m = 0.01, theta f = 0.3) under a dominant mode of inheritance and 90% penetrance. These findings support the conclusion that a gene locus for a group of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (JME, epilepsy with absences, and epilepsy with GTCS) maps to chromosome 6p.
