Abstract EN
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is usually regarded as a polygenic and complex disorder.
To understand its genetic component, numerous linkage analyses of familial forms and association studies of cases versus controls have been conducted since the middle of the nineties.
The present paper lists genetic findings for TLE from the initial segregation analysis to the most recent results published in May 2011.
To date, no genes have been clearly related to TLE despite many efforts to do so.
However, it is vital to continue replication studies and collaborative attempts to find significant results and thus determine which gene variant combination plays a definitive role in the aetiology of TLE.
