An Overview of Drug-Resistant Epilepsies Based on Advances in Genetics: A Cohort Study
Despite detecting the increasing number of DRE-associated genes, the clinical features of these disorders often overlap, making it difficult to make a systematic diagnosis. Genetic tests, especially WES analysis, significantly increase the rate of original diagnosis in DRE cases. A definite genetic diagnosis is very important in terms of avoiding unnecessary tests, choosing specific treatment, and genetic counseling.
