Are generalized and localization-related epilepsies genetically distinct?
These findings in parents and siblings suggest that some susceptibility genotypes raise the risk for both generalized and localization-related epilepsies but are more common in persons affected with generalized epilepsy. The different findings in offspring may reflect a different influence on susceptibility in that subgroup.
Significant ED is associated with DR severity independent of age, diabetes duration, macrovascular comorbidities, and cardiovascular risk factors.
