The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Abstract excerpt

Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network-level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare high-penetrance monogenic variants, common polygenic risk factors,...
