The future for mosaic epilepsies
• Precision diagnosis– Need to bring genomic science to practice– Requires basic neuroscience studies of new genes
• Precision treatment– Pre‐clinical data re: specific mechanisms, drugs– Science, practice, and ethics of clinical trials
• N of 1 vs. RCT vs. other design• What are meaningful outcomes?• Inclusion/exclusion/stopping criteria• Cautionary tales (‘do no harm’)
