[Role of the degree and character of identical parental loading as a factor in the clinical polymorphism of epilepsy].

A comparative clinico-constitutional analysis of 73 cases of epilepsy with an identical parental loading and 179 without it, demonstrated that the degree and character of a parental loading is one of the genotypical factors determining the fenotypical polymorphism of epilepsy. This circumstances causes the frequency of associations with dysgenesia, epileptoid traits, modifying the age of manifestation and progression of the disease. This should also be taken into consideration in prognosticating the severity of epilepsy during treatment and socio-labor adaptation in patients depending upon the degree and character of identical parental loading.
