| Summary: | Epilepsy is a neurological illness that affects over 50 million individuals worldwide. An epileptic disease is a neurological condition characterized by frequent seizures. Seizures occur when brain activity spikes abruptly and abnormally, altering movement, perception, or behavior. Several genes may be associated with epilepsy, according to research currently being conducted. We sought to identify the genes associated with sudden, unexpected mortality in epilepsy and malformations of the cortical development related to epilepsy. Detailed analyses of each gene process have been conducted better to understand its probable mechanism and relationship to epilepsy. Since analyzing family studies and refining computational methods, we have better understood how genetics may influence epilepsy. Although genetic factors may play a role in epilepsy development, the origins and consequences of epilepsy are still unknown. The study of genes associated with epilepsy is necessary to understand better how genetics and epilepsy are connected. Several epilepsy genes have been identified due to advances in genetic research. These insights enable genetic diagnostics to be incorporated into clinical practice and assist in diagnosing and treating epilepsy. |
