Investigating the effect of polygenic background on epilepsy phenotype in ‘monogenic’ familiesResearch in context

Summary: Background: Phenotypic variability within families with epilepsy is often observed, even when relatives share the same monogenic cause. We aimed to investigate whether common polygenic risk for epilepsy could explain the penetrance and phenotypic expression of rare pathogenic variants in f...
