This talk will review the expanding role of genetic diagnoses in epilepsy care and treatment. First, the importance of making a genetic diagnosis is discussed - to inform families of the cause and to link them with other families and patients with similar disorders. In an increasing number of cases, understanding the specific gene and in some cases, the specific mutation, can directly impact the diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic options to consider and to avoid.
Only the live session qualifies for CEUs but when possible, we host the recordings on our website and NSGC recommends participants to use their personal email instead of work email addresses to ensure they receive their CEU certificates.
