GENETICS OF EPILEPSY
Genetics is a huge and growing area across human biology, medicine and science, providing information about basic processes from birth to death, from development to degeneration, and in even revealing enough about disease biology to lead to new therapies or better use of existing treatments because gene activity underlines all biological process (Sisodiya, 1881; Vadlamudi et al., 2014). Epilepsy is defined as one unprovoked (or reflex) seizure and a probability of further seizures similar t...
