A whole-exome sequencing study has identified a series of ultra-rare variants that provide a genetic link between common and rare epilepsy syndromes. This discovery could open up new possibilities for ...

A new synthesis finds that common epilepsies are driven by thousands of tiny-effect genetic variants, most still ...

In the past two decades, the number of genes recognized to have a role in the epilepsies has dramatically increased. The availability of testing for epilepsy-related genes is potentially helpful for ...

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...
