Blinders, phenotype, and fashionable genetic analysis: a critical examination of the current state of epilepsy genetic studies.

Abstract excerpt

Although it is accepted that idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is strongly, if not exclusively, influenced by genetic factors, there is little consensus on what those genetic influences may be, except for one point of agreement: epilepsy is a "channelopathy." This point of agreement has continued despite the failure of studies investigating channel genes to demonstrate the primacy of their influence on IGE...
