Surgical outcomes of patients with genetically refractory epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting approximately 50 million individuals worldwide [1]. With the continuous development and widespread adoption of next-generation sequencing technology and the decreasing costs associated with sequencing, an increasing body of research has indicated that genetic factors play a significant role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy [2,3]. An accumulating body of evidence supports the importance of genetic factors in the development of epilepsy [2,3].
