Anthropogenetic Variability in the Group of Individuals With Febrile Seizures - Population Genetic Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating HRC-test for Febrile Seizure. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Febrile seizures(FS) are the most common neurological disorder in chilhood and are a great stress for parents due to their dramatic clinical appearance. Using HRC-test(test for determination of homozygously recessive characteristics in humans) we analyzed presence, distribution, and individual combination of 20 selected genetically controlled morpho-physiological traits among FS patients and control to determine a possible deviation in the homozygosity level and genetic loads in the group of affected children and whether there is a predisposition to the occurrence of FS.

Timeline
Interventions
Using HRC-test we analyze 20 selected genetically controlled morphophysiological traits among FS children and control.Homozygous-recessive traits in the region of human head are: attached ear lobe,continuous frontal hair line,blue eyes straight hair,soft hair and blond hair,double hair whorl,hair whorl orientation-opposite from clock-wise,as well as an inability to roll,fold and curve the tongue,a guttural "r and Daltonism.HRC trait expressed in human arms and legs, such as distal or proximal hyper-extensibility of the thumb,index finger shorter than the ring finger,left-handedness, hand clasping pattern.In order to achieve high level of objectivity during the process of data gathering, the same person conducting all testing.Inside the group of charcteristics which show high level of variability,only the extreme phenotypes were considered recessive.For the purpose of testing the color blindness in examinees,the Pseudoisochromatic plates test was used.
