Although self-limiting, the disorder is frequently confused with epileptic neonatal seizures. A few familial cases have been reported; however the genetics has not been studied. We ascertained 3 families with 2 or more affected individuals and analyzed the pedigrees. We used microsatellite markers to determine if the disorder was possibly linked to KCNQ2 or KCNQ3, the 2 genes that cause most cases of benign familial neonatal seizures, a disorder that it could be easily confused with. The 3 pedigrees, including one with 4 affected individuals, were suggestive of autosomal dominant inheritance. The loci for KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 were excluded in the 2 larger families. We conclude that benign neonatal sleep myoclonus can show autosomal dominant inheritance and is not allelic with benign familial neonatal seizures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073811433460","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,24]],"date-time":"2012-03-24T03:28:27Z","timestamp":1332559707000},"page":"1260-1263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Benign
