Genetic Factors

There seem to be a link between either abnorbalities observed in genes or that a family has a history of Epilepsy. About 500 types genes have been suspected of being liked to Epilepsy. The genes can also be affected by a mutation which elevate the chances of a person to be affected by Epilepsy. Some genes can even be resistant to certain medication and weakens the seizure threshold of each individual. The more genes that are inherited, the higher the possibility to be affected by this disorder.
