What do genetic studies tell us about the heritable basis of common epilepsy? Polygenic or complex epilepsy?

Abstract excerpt

The search for genes associated with common epilepsy, including both focal and generalised epilepsies, has been intensive in the past few decades. Consequently, our understanding of the genetic background of common epilepsy has improved considerably, and current genetic studies have optimised their design accordingly, showing much promise for the future. Nevertheless, we can only explain a fraction of the...
