Abstract excerpt
Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children is linked to poor developmental outcomes and increased mortality. Genetic factors are increasingly recognized in its pathogenesis, and whole- exome sequencing (WES) offers a promising diagnostic tool for early intervention, especially in cases with unclear etiology. However, data on the genetic causes of pediatric DRE remain scarce in Indonesia, a low-resource setting...
