Genetically determined epilepsy with encephalopathy can develop early in life, often with prenatal onset, which makes diagnosis difficult. New molecular screening studies have identified causative mutations in patients with early-onset epilepsy with encephalopathy. What can we learn from the results of genetic screening in patients with this disorder?
遗传性癫痫伴脑病可在生命早期发病,常为产前起病,这使得诊断变得困难。新的分子筛查研究已经在早发性癫痫伴脑病患者中发现了致病突变。我们能从这种疾病患者的基因筛查结果中学到什么?
