CONCLUSION: This study highlights substantial clinical and genetic heterogeneity of epilepsy in Africa with population-specific founder variants. Notably, only a limited number of African countries (12/54) have published on molecular diagnostics for epilepsy. The data suggest the potential for significant discoveries yet to be made but also point to ongoing disparities in the availability of genomic testing.
