Clinical utility of exome sequencing in a pediatric epilepsy cohort.

Results demonstrate the clinical utility of ES for individuals with epilepsy across multiple aspects of patient care, including anti-seizure medication (ASM) selection; screening for non-neurological comorbidities and referrals to appropriate medical specialists; referral to reproductive genetic counseling; and access to research, information, and support resources. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the clinical utility of ES for a pediatric epilepsy cohort with broad epilepsy phenotypes. This work supports the implementation of ES as part of clinical care in this population.
