Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to explore how genetic diagnoses in epilepsy patients impact their clinical management and health outcomes, focusing on data from patients tested for genetic variants between 2016 and 2020.
- The research included 418 patients, with a median age of 4 years, and found that nearly half (49.8%) experienced changes in clinical management due to genetic results, often within three months.
- Common changes included starting new medications, referrals to specialists, and monitoring for other health issues related to the genetic findings.*
