Abstract
Summary of the research findings
The epilepsies are a clinically heterogeneous group of neurological disorders. Despite strong evidence for heritability, genome-wide association studies have had little success in identification of risk loci associated with epilepsy, probably because of relatively small sample sizes and insufficient power. We aimed to identify risk loci through meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies for all epilepsy and the two largest clinical subtypes (genetic generalised epilepsy and focal epilepsy).
405 European ancestry cases, 127 African American cases, 248 cases, 2,330 European ancestry genetic generalised epilepsy cases, 81 African American genetic generalised epilepsy cases, 195 genetic generalised epilepsy cases, 3,277 European ancestry focal epilepsy cases, 222 African American focal epilepsy cases, 487 Han Chinese ancestry focal epilepsy cases, 1,324 focal epilepsy cases, up to 17,441 European ancestry controls, up to 2,843 African American controls, up to 2,875 Han Chinese ancestry controls, up to 2,998 controls
