Previously defined variants of uncertain significance may play an important role in epilepsy and interactions between certain variants may become pathogenic
Abstract:Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures and associated neurological, cognitive, psychological, and social effects. The prevalence of active epilepsy is estimated to be between 4-10 per 1000 individuals in the general population, with the highest incidence occurring during infancy and childhood. Genetic mutations play a significant role in epilepsy, and over 500 genes have been associated with the condition. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) panels are utilized for genetic… Show more
