Benign familial juvenile epilepsy, also known as remitting focal epilepsy, is a genetic disease affecting Lagotto Romagnolo dogs. A mutation in the LGI2 gene causes dogs to develop benign seizures between 2 and 4 months of age. These seizures almost always go away on their own and are shown to have no lasting effects.
