Epilepsy, hippocampal sclerosis and febrile seizures linked by common genetic variation around SCN1A

TL;DR: Genetic analysis and meta-analysis suggest SCN1A involvement in a common epilepsy syndrome, give new direction to biological understanding of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis with febrile seizures, and open avenues for investigation of prognostic factors and possible prevention of epilepsy in some children with febs.

Common genetic variation and susceptibility to partial epilepsies: a genome-wide association study

TL;DR: It is shown that, at best, common genetic variation can only have a modest role in predisposition to the partial epilepsies when considered across syndromes in Europeans, and research efforts should also be directed towards identifying the multiple rare variants likely to account for at least part of the heritability of the partial seizures.
