RESISTANT EPILEPTIC ENCEPHALOPATHIES IN CHILDREN — A NEW LOOK AT THE GENETICS OF EPILEPSY
Abstract
The article is devoted to resistant forms of epilepsy in children caused by impaired brain development. The analysis of data on the significance of certain genes in the formation of each of the main stages of proliferation and differentiation, migration or late neuronal organization. Clinical demonstrations of patients with different genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity are presented.
