Benign familial infantile convulsions (BFIC) are an autosomal-dominant
epileptic syndrome characterized by an age of onset within the first year
of life. Although they were first reported in families of Italian descent,
BFIC have also been described in non-Italian families. We have mapped the
BFIC gene to chromosome 19 by linkage analysis in five Italian families
with a maximum two-point lod score of 6.36 at D19S114; maximum multipoint
lod scores > 8 were obtained for the interval D19S250-D19S245. BFIC are
therefore the third idiopathic partial epileptic syndrome to be mapped on
the human genome.
