Abstract

Genetic testing in epilepsy treatment increases the patient's odds of accurate diagnosis, and results in limited progression of the neurological disorder, while supporting researchers in developing more effective treatments. This scoping review will address the current, available literature on the accessibility of genetic tests for epilepsy treatment, to unpack barriers and facilitators to care.
