Clinical Genetics of Paroxysmal Neurological Diseases

 

Paroxysmal neurological disorders include a broad spectrum of clinical entities such as migraine, episodic ataxia or myotonia. The research group is focussed on the clinical genetics of epilepsies and paroxysmal dyskinesias, paroxysmal neurological disorders with overlapping clinical and pathophysiological features.
