The conference will discuss state-of-the-art updates on epilepsy genetics and its implications on the future implementation of gene-informed medical management in epilepsy. The conference features Cleveland Clinic and internationally renowned faculty.

In the past decade, genomics research has led to the identification of more than 100 epilepsy-associated genes that can be clinically tested. With the opportunity to identify the genetic etiology of a patient’s epilepsy, clinicians will be confronted with new decisions regarding patient selection, which genetic test to choose, interpreting the results, and tailoring the treatment using existing drugs and interventions. Educating patients and families about possible outcomes, limitations of genetic testing, and the emergence of gene-disorder family foundations are also at the forefront.

The recorded lectures and speaker slides will be available to all participants for on-demand viewing for one year afterward.

The program content is appropriate for practicing adult and child neurologists and epileptologists, trainees/fellows, mid-level providers, and nursing personnel.
