The Role of Genetics in Epilepsy

Genetics plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of epilepsy, with numerous genetic mutations and variations implicated in various forms of the disorder. This session will review recent discoveries in epilepsy genetics, including the identification of genes associated with specific epilepsy syndromes and the impact of genetic testing on diagnosis and treatment. Understanding the genetic basis of epilepsy can lead to more precise diagnoses and targeted therapies.
The integration of genetic information into clinical practice is advancing the field of personalized medicine in epilepsy. Genetic testing can provide insights into an individual’s risk of developing epilepsy, guide treatment decisions, and inform prognosis. Ongoing research aims to uncover new genetic markers and understand their role in epilepsy pathogenesis, with the potential to revolutionize how epilepsy is diagnosed and managed.
