What genetic testing can be done for epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated issue: Genetic testing for epilepsy has not reached main stream and is in part at the experimental stage. See this site for information and consult a neurologist at a major medical school. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3152152/.
