The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project

Dr. Steven Schachter interviews Dr. Daniel Lowenstein, Professor and Vice-Chairman of the UCSF Department of Neurology about the largest research study ever created to understand how genetics influences epilepsy. The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project is a collaborative effort among some of the country’s leading epileptologists and the National Institutes of Health to investigate the causes of epilepsy and the differences in how people respond to anti-seizure medication.
