Abstract
Soon it will be possible to practice medicine at a molecular level and identify gene products by mapping genes for a growing number of diseases, including the epilepsies. The chromosomal locations of about 900 structural genes are now known, representing less than 2% of the total 50 000 genes estimated for man (McKusick [50]). In addition, 500 anonymous DNA segments have been mapped to specific human chromosomes and many of these human genes have sequence variations, making them useful linkage markers.
