Benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal EEG foci: a genetic study.

Nineteen probands with benign epilepsy of childhood and centrotemporal EEG foci (rolandic discharges), 36 of their full parents, and 34 full siblings were included in a genetic study. In these sibships (excluding probands), 15% (5/34) had seizures and rolandic discharges, and 19% (6/32) had rolandic discharges alone. Of the full parents, 11% (5/38) had seizures in chilhood but none in adult life. Only 1 parent (3%) of 36 had rolandic discharges. There was no differnence with sex. The results were tested against different genetic hypotheses and indicate that an autosomal dominant gene with age-dependent penetrance is responsible for the EEG trait.

Genetic heterogeneity and gene diversity in the population of Punjab, Pakistan, based on ABO and Rh(D) blood group frequencies.

AB0 and Rh(D) blood group data from more than 20,000 persons have been assembled from 14 cities in Punjab, Pakistan, and analysed for regional differentiation. The concept of the coefficient of gene differentiation was used to quantify the gene diversity, which has been compared to other such estimates from Europe and Japan.

Genetic diversity in the Lithuanian rural population as illustrated by variation in the ABO and Rh(D) blood groups.

Regional and temporal variations in the ABO and Rh blood group gene frequencies were studied in the rural population of Lithuania. The total material, comprising blood group data for about 37,000 individuals, was subdivided according to place of residence into 401 parishes, 44 administrative districts and 6 ethnolinguistic regions. A significant regional heterogeneity was found. Gene diversity figures were higher than those observed in some other countries when studied at similar hierarchical levels. The gene frequency variation at the district level was compared to expected effects of genetic drift and migration and it was estimated that a migration rate of 5-10% would counter genetic drift in the rural population of Lithuania.
