Applying exome testing in pediatric epilepsy: Lessons from clinical practice
In this webinar, attendees will explore genetic testing strategies for children and young adults with epilepsy, with insights relevant to pediatricians, pediatric and adult neurologists, geneticists, genetic counselors, developmental behavioral pediatricians and other clinicians involved in diagnostic evaluation.
Arie Weinstock, Professor of Clinical Neurology at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Director of the Epilepsy Program and Long-Term Monitoring at Oishei Children’s Hospital, will use pediatric and young adult neurology cases to illustrate how genetic testing, including genomic sequencing with trio analysis (parental samples), can help identify the underlying cause of disease. A genetic diagnosis can end the diagnostic odyssey and allow tailored therapy.
