“…For probands with cerebral palsy, this relation could be explained by an association with advanced maternal age, as was reported previously (Stanley, 1984). Alternatively, an association with higher birth order could occur if parents of probands stopped having children after the probands developed epilepsy, as has been observed in parents with children with mental retardation (Holt, 1958). However, this effect would be expected to be stronger in epilepsies with early ages at onset than in those with later ages at onset, and we noted no relation between birth order and epilepsy even among probands with early ( 6 5 years) age at onset.…”

We examined the relation between epilepsy and birth order, using data on 1,950 probands with epilepsy and 4,636 of their full siblings without epilepsy from the Epilepsy Family Study of Columbia University. The proportion of first-born individuals appeared to be higher among probands with epilepsy than among their unaffected siblings, but this relation disappeared after we controlled for the confounding effect of sibship size. With sibship size controlled, the proportion of first-born individuals was similar to that in unaffected siblings for probands with idiopathic/cryptogenic epilepsy, generalized and partial onset seizures, and all ages at onset of epilepsy. Probands with remote symptomatic epilepsy had higher birth orders than their unaffected siblings, even after we controlled for sibship size.

“…The main difference is that the Wessex experiment will include non-ambulant and behaviour-disordered children whereas these children were specifically excluded from the Brooklands study. The type and extent of family problems have been ably documented (Tizard and Grad, 1961 ;Holt 1958 ;Moncrieff 1966). The siting of the small units near the families and near the supporting medical, social and educational services might diminish the level of family burdens.…”

“…Fortunately there is an increasing awareness in the medical profession of the importance of genetical counselling. The earlier disgraceful neglect to give proper genetical advice is exemplified in the studies of Holt (1957Holt ( , 1958.
