Psychiatric and Behavioral Disorders in Epilepsy Patients*
Behavioral changes are common in epilepsy patients, with the overall spectrum of behavior in this population skewed toward cognitive impairment and psychopathology. Unfortunately, in many cases, the diagnosis is overlooked and therapeutic opportunities are missed. The pathogenesis of these disorders may include central nervous system pathology, ictal and interictal epileptiform activity, antiep...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Behavioral Security
Behavioral genetics offers numerous opportunities to bridge gaps in biological research of IS and to shed light on the nature versus nurture debate. This study seeks to explain persistent weaknesses in behavioral security from a genetic perspective. A synthesis of current literatures on cognitive neuroscience, decision making, and fraud victimization suggests a genetic basis for user susceptibi...
متن کاملFamilial clustering of impaired spermatogenesis: no evidence for a common genetic inheritance pattern.
BACKGROUND The aetiology of impaired spermatogenesis is unknown in the majority of cases. Evidence of a contribution of genetic factors is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess whether male factor subfertility due to impaired spermatogenesis has a familial component and to test different genetic models of inheritance. METHODS Cases were all men with severe idiopathic imp...
متن کاملNo evidence for shared genetic basis of common variants in multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Genome-wide association studies have been successful in identifying common variants that influence the susceptibility to complex diseases. From these studies, it has emerged that there is substantial overlap in susceptibility loci between diseases. In line with those findings, we hypothesized that shared genetic pathways may exist between multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosi...
متن کاملMammographic breast density and breast cancer: evidence of a shared genetic basis.
Percent mammographic breast density (PMD) is a strong heritable risk factor for breast cancer. However, the pathways through which this risk is mediated are still unclear. To explore whether PMD and breast cancer have a shared genetic basis, we identified genetic variants most strongly associated with PMD in a published meta-analysis of five genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and used these...
