Patient's question:
My wife's father has epilepsy, and I'm sad about whether our child might have it. Hello, how is the epilepsy gene tested?Doctor's answer:
The main method for testing epilepsy is through a careful examination of the epilepsy-related chromosomes. With the advancement of science, the accuracy of diagnosis can reach a positive rate of 90% through testing. However, epilepsy is generally caused by hereditary factors across generations, so it is not yet particularly clear to establish a direct relationship with epilepsy. Only a small portion of epilepsy patients can identify the specific cause of their condition through genetic testing methods.
