Recommendations for the re-analysis of existing genomic data from epilepsy patients

Genomic testing is being recognised as an integral part of the management of individuals with epilepsy. However, despite the increasing utility of genomic testing in epilepsy, a significant proportion of patients who are suspected to have a monogenic cause, do not receive a molecular diagnosis. Re-analysing existing genomic data increases the molecular diagnostic yield over time. As our understandings of the molecular components of epilepsy are changing faster than many other conditions, the re-analysis of existing genomic data from epilepsy patients holds significant potential in improving diagnostic outcomes.
