This volume is a second undertaking - following the proceedings of
the first workshop published in 1982 under the title Genetic Basis
of the Epilepsies -to review our current knowledge on the genetics
of epilepsies. It also developed from a workshop held in Berlin in
September 1986. It contains the papers presented by the speakers,
but is revised to incorporate the results of the stimulating
discussions. The main goals of the book are to stimulate
communication across traditional disciplinary lines and further
collaborative research, as well as to provide pediatricians,
neurologists, and geneticists with a basic knowledge for genetic
counselling while at the same time putting emphasis on the evidence
of heterogeneity in this field. This book contains separate
sections on population rates, family studies on selected syndromes,
genetics of EEG characteristics, morbidity risk in offspring, and
special methods and topics. Among the topics covered are the
prospective evaluation of seizure morbidity in offspring of
epileptic patients and the relationship of pharmacogenetics to
epilepsy, two questions of current interest. The editors are
greatly indebted to Mrs. Ilsebill Brookes, secretary of the
Department of Neurology, Universitatsklinikum Rudolf Virchow, Free
University Berlin, for her valuable assistance in planning and
arranging the workshop. Major funding was provided by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft; Stiftung Michael; Freie Universitat Berlin;
Boehringer, Ingelheim; Ciba-Geigy, Frankfurt; Desitin, Hamburg;
Hoff mann-La Roche, Grenzach; Knoll, Ludwigshafen; Labaz, Munich;
Nordmark, Uetersen; Parke-Davis, Munich, and Schering, Berlin. The
editors are indebted to these institutions and firms for their
generous support."
