Can mutation-mediated effects occurring early in development cause long-term seizure susceptibility in genetic generalized epilepsies?

Abstract excerpt

Epilepsy has a strong genetic component, with an ever-increasing number of disease-causing genes being discovered. Most epilepsy-causing mutations are germ line and thus present from conception. These mutations are therefore well positioned to have a deleterious impact during early development. Here we review studies that investigate the role of genetic lesions within the early developmental window, specifically...
