Association between SCN1A polymorphism and risk of epilepsy in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent and unprovoked seizures that affects people of various ages [1]. In particular, epilepsy in children deserves special attention because its pathogenesis appears to be distinct from that of adult epilepsy [2]. Therefore, research into their different genetic basis is essential for accurate diagnosis, risk stratification, and formulation of tailored therapeutic strategies. The etiology of epilepsy is complex and multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors.
