AB  - We studied the occurrence of seizure disorders within the immediate family in 3 
      groups of probands: (1) 64 epileptic children with nonconvulsive status 
      epilepticus (NCSE); (2) 454 epileptic children who have had no episodes of NCSE; 
      (3) 306 healthy children, matched for age and sex. Recurrence of seizures among 
      relatives of epileptic probands without NCSE was significantly higher than among 
      the general population, both in generalized and partial epilepsies. We also 
      observed an increased incidence of convulsions among the relatives of probands 
      with NCSE and the general population; no differences were noted between epileptic 
      children with or without NCSE. These data support the hypothesis that genetic 
      factors play an important role in the etiology of seizure disorders in children 
      with NCSE.
