Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Around 40% of individuals with epilepsy have an underlying identifiable genetic etiology. Common methods for epilepsy genetic testing are chromosomal microarray (CMA) and epilepsy-genes sequencing (EGS). Historically, CMA was the first-line test for patients with epilepsy, but recent studies have shown that EGS has a superior diagnostic yield. To further optimize testing algorithms for epilepsy, we...
