title: Polygenic inheritance of epilepsy and febrile convulsions: analysis based on a computational model.
abstract: Two series of patients with epilepsy and with febrile convulsions were analysed on Slater's computational model for evidence on the mode of inheritance. The study demonstrated that in both series a polygenic inheritance may be more likely than an autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance.
