The genetics of human epilepsy

Scheffer教授和她的合作者在发现癫痫的遗传原因方面处于世界领先地位。她将继续识别和完善已知的癫痫综合征，并制定癫痫的分类。她将与分子同事一起，继续发现导致这种衰弱疾病的潜在基因，从而对神经生物学产生新的见解。她的工作可能会带来新的治疗方法，并改善癫痫患者的预后。

Professor Scheffer and her collaborators lead the world in the discovery of the genetic causes of epilepsy. She will continue to identify new and refine known epilepsy syndromes and develop the classification of the epilepsies. Together with molecular colleagues, she will continue to discover the underlying genes causing this debilitating disorder leading to novel insights into the neurobiology. Her work may lead to new treatments and improve outcomes for people for epilepsy.
