CURE Epilepsy Discovery: Developing Precision Medicine Treatments for Genetic Epilepsies: Present Challenges, Recent Scientific Advances, and Future Prospects
Our latest Discovery discusses precision medicine as it relates to epilepsy. Precision medicine is “an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person.” This concept is being applied to genetic epilepsies, but significant challenges have limited the rate at which basic science has translated into new treatments. Numerous patient advocacy groups, professional societies such as the American Epilepsy Society, governmental institutions, and non-profit funding agencies such CURE Epilepsy, have collectively called for a coordinated and systematic approach to developing new epilepsy treatments. Progress stemming from this call to action could bring a new age of treatments for those with epilepsy, shifting from observational experience to data-driven and patient-centered precision therapy.
