Biobank participation of persons with epilepsy in South Wales

Abstract

Introduction:The Swansea Neurology Biobank (SNB) has collected thousands of DNA biosamples from people with epilepsy in South Wales. Analysis of biobank participation is important to optimise future recruitment for epilepsy research, meta-data analysis and gene / biomarker discovery. This will lead to a high-quality platform for the collection of biological specimens and data.
