Why genetic testing is helpful for children with seizures or epilepsy

Over 200 genes have been identified as “epilepsy genes”, with hundreds more known to cause other genetic disorders that can be accompanied by epilepsy or seizures.

 

What a genetic diagnosis could do:

  • Explains what’s causing your child’s seizures and other symptoms
  • Can point to specific treatments for some conditions
  • Helps doctors manage related symptoms that come with the condition
  • Can cut down on repeat tests like brain scans
  • Tells you whether future children could be affected
  • Connects you with families facing the same condition for support and to help push research forward

What families tell us

“After I received my results from Probably Genetic, my doctor suddenly began running all sorts of tests, asking all kinds of questions, things I had told him but he never heard. So THANK YOU. It led to breakthroughs and actions from my doctors that would have never happened without you.”

“We've been searching for answers for over a decade and I'd almost given up. I'm so grateful that Probably Genetic has taken it upon themselves to make this kind of potentially life-altering testing accessible to families like mine.”
