Özet

OBJECTIVE: Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease and is estimated to affect more than 50 million people worldwide. Epilepsy is a polygenic and multifactorial disease.Genetic causes play a major role in 40 & ndash;60 % of all epilepsies. Copy number variations(CNVs) have been reported in approximately 5 & ndash;12 % of patients with different types of epilepsy.Here we aimed to determine the diagnostic yield of the aCGH in epilepsy and to reveal new candidate genes and CNVs by analyzing aCGH data retrospectively.
