Supporters observe that, among individuals exposed to seemingly the same brain insult, only a minority develops unprovoked seizures. Yet, only in relatively recent years have studies started to build a case for genetic contributions. Here, we appraise this emerging evidence, by providing a critical review of studies published in the field. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/24919 | DOI: | 10.1177/1535759720954254 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-2311-2174 | Journal: | Epilepsy Currents | PubMed URL: | 32990457 | ISSN: | 1535-7597 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | acquired epilepsy family history genetics post-traumatic epilepsy postStroke epilepsy |
