A meta-analysis conducted by the International League Against Epilepsy in 2014 identified SNPs associated with the development of epilepsy in the sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1 (SCN1A), Protocadherin 7 (PCDH7), FA Complementation Group L (FANCL) and Vaccinia Related Kinase 2 (VRK2) genes [6]. This evidence concerns the gene VRK2 and epilepsy.
