Neurogenetics laboratory, Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University
Research objectives:
– Genetic causes of epileptic encephalopathies, focal epilepsies and malformations of cortical development, including focal cortical dysplasia
– Genetic variability among epilepsy surgery patients and the effect of genetic causes on epilepsy surgery outcomes
– Giscovery of novel genetic causes of peripheral neuropathies, hereditary spastic parapareses, severe childhood-onset neurodegenerative diseases and hereditary hearing loss
