Precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies in Africa – strategies for a resource-limited setting

2022-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Purpose</h4> Sub-Saharan Africa bears the highest burden of epilepsy worldwide. A presumed proportion is genetic, but this aetiology is buried under the burden of infections and perinatal insults, in a setting of limited awareness and few options for testing. Children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), are most severely affected by this diagnostic gap in Africa, as the...
