Identifying new genes involved in the development of epilepsy

约有2%的人口在其生命的某个阶段受到癫痫的影响。我们最近发现了两个新的基因，它们与一种被称为ADNFLE的癫痫的发展有关。我们的目标是通过对尚未确定突变的ADNFLE患者进行测序来进一步鉴定癫痫基因。我们还旨在确定与我们已经确定的基因相互作用的基因，增加我们对癫痫发展中涉及的细胞网络的理解。

Epilepsy affects approximately 2% of the population at some stage of their lives. We have recently identified two new genes involved in the development of a type of epilepsy known as ADNFLE. We aim to identify further epilepsy genes by sequencing ADNFLE patients who do not yet have identified mutations. We also aim to identify the genes interacting with the genes we have identified, increasing our understanding of the cellular networks involved in the development of epilepsy.
