Meta‐analysis of genetic mapping studies in mice reveals candidate epilepsy modifier genes that are outside the current drug development landscape
This study prioritized epilepsy modifier genes that are strongly predicted to influence neurodevelopmental processes, which are underrepresented among current therapeutic targets. Furthermore, the identified genes represent novel candidate modifiers with potential clinical relevance. Our systems-level analysis offers a novel view into the potential target landscape, pointing toward promising new directions for disease-modifying treatments.
