At DNA Labs UAE, we support this mission by advancing understanding of epilepsy through cutting-edge genetic testing, helping patients and families make informed healthcare decisions.
Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes recurrent seizures due to unusual electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can look different from person to person and may vary in frequency and intensity.
Common signs may include:
- Sudden or uncontrolled movements
- Temporary confusion or loss of awareness
- Staring episodes
- Sensory changes
- Muscle stiffness or jerking
Epilepsy can affect people of all ages, from early childhood to later adulthood.
Why Epilepsy Awareness Matters
Awareness plays a critical role in improving lives. International Epilepsy Day helps to:
- Break myths and reduce stigma
- Encourage early diagnosis and treatment
- Promote understanding and empathy
- Improve long-term health outcomes
Greater awareness leads to earlier intervention, more accurate diagnoses, and better quality of life.
The Genetic Link to Epilepsy
Many types of epilepsy have a genetic component. Some are inherited, while others occur due to new genetic changes.
Understanding the genetic cause of epilepsy can help healthcare providers:
- Identify the underlying reason for seizures
- Predict how the condition may progress
- Choose more targeted treatments
- Support informed family planning
Genetic insights are transforming how epilepsy is diagnosed and managed.
Epilepsy Panel NGS Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive Epilepsy Panel NGS Genetic Test, using Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze multiple genes linked to epilepsy in a single test.
This advanced approach supports faster, more accurate diagnosis and personalized care.
