Genseize: Whole Genome Sequencing For People With Epilepsy - Usha Kini, Oxford University, UK
Podcast:
This week we chat with Usha Kini: a professor in clinical genetics from Oxford University who tells us about her work on the new, exciting epilepsy genetics pilot project called Genseize. For Genseize they are recruiting individuals and families affected by a primary epilepsy who’d like to potentially find out more about their own condition which may lead to improved treatment, but also improve diagnoses and care for other people - around us now, and in the future.
