Genetic testing can help explain the cause of a child’s epilepsy, guide treatment decisions, identify related health concerns, and connect families to research opportunities. This session will break down the different types of genetic testing, when testing may be appropriate, and what families should know about possible results, including uncertain findings. It will also cover practical issues like access, and how to use results to ask better questions and make more informed decisions.
