- Abstract
The insights gained from big data and omics approaches have transformed the field of childhood genetic epilepsy. With an increasing number of individuals receiving genetic testing for seizures, we are provided with an opportunity to identify clinically relevant subgroups and extract meaningful observations from this large-scale clinical data. However, the volume of data from electronic medical records and omics (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics) is so vast that standardized methods, such as the Human Phenotype Ontology, are necessary for reliable and comprehensive characterization. Here, we explore the integration of clinical and omics data, highlighting how these approaches pave the way for discovery in childhood epilepsies., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024.
