Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Childhood epilepsies are caused by heterogeneous underlying disorders where approximately 40% of the origins of epilepsy can be attributed to genetic factors. The application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized molecular diagnostics and has enabled the identification of disease-causing genes and variants in childhood epilepsies. The objective of this study was to use NGS to identify...
