[Current prospects of genetics in epilepsy diagnostics--when and what?].

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors have been estimated to affect the development of epilepsy in as many as 40% of the patients. Several genes have been identified underlying rare epileptic syndromes. Most epilepsies are most likely caused by a combined effect of several genes and environmental factors, and the genetic background of these diseases remains to be largely unknown. In practice, DNA diagnostics is possible only in a...
