Predicting epilepsy
Biomarker indicates which victims of febrile seizures will later develop the brain disorder
Novel biomarker predicts febrile seizure-related epilepsy, UCI study finds
A newly discovered biomarker – visible in brain scans for hours after febrile seizures – predicts which individuals will subsequently develop epilepsy, according to UC Irvine researchers. This diagnostic ability could lead to improved use of preventive therapies for the disorder.
