Epilepsies in Twins:Genetics of the Major Epilepsy Syndromes
Ann Neurol 43:435-445, Berovic,S.F.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We conclude that genetic factors are particularly important in the generalized epilepsies but also play a role in the partial epilepsies.The high frequency of concordant MZ pairs with the same major syndrome strongly suggests there are syndrome-specific genetic determinants rather than a broad genetic predisposition to seizures.
