Summary

The isolating of certain genes that intervene in the origin of idiopathic epilepsy has allowed for a better classification of epilepsy as a whole. This work is about the clinical analysis of two families with an epileptic syndrome. The first family displays a nocturnal epilepsy associated to chromosome 20q, which has a mutation in gen (CHRNA4) of sub-unit á4 of the acetylcoline nicotinic receptor. The second family displays a dominant lateral temporal lobe and autosomal epilepsy associated to chromosome 10q.
