Bromodomain‐containing protein 2 gene polymorphism among patients with photosensitive epilepsy in Indonesia
This study investigated whether genetic differences in the BRD2 gene were linked to photosensitive epilepsy (a type of epilepsy triggered by visual stimuli like flashing lights) in individuals of Indonesian Javanese descent. We analyzed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with epilepsy, including those with photosensitive epilepsy, and found that certain variations in the BRD2 gene were significantly more common in people with photosensitive epilepsy. These findings imply that genetic factors, specifically variations in the BRD2 gene, could elevate the risk of individuals in this population experiencing photosensitive epilepsy.
