EuroEPINOMICS and the golden age of epilepsy gene discovery BLOG Posted on March 17, 2023 by Ingo Helbig Exome era. When a consortium disappears, where does it go and what does it leave behind? I realized last week that exactly 10 years ago, the EuroEPINOMICS Rare Epilepsy Syndrome (RES) consortium pushed the button for the second round of trio exome sequencing, a pivotal event in the history of epilepsy genetics that led to the discovery of more than a dozen genes for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. The fact that this critical juncture in the history of epilepsy gene discovery went largely unnoticed lies within the nature of research consortia – they form, they work, and they disperse. However, as EuroEPINOMICS was formative for me as a junior researcher, I wanted to dedicate this blog post to the research consortia of the early 2010s and the golden era of epilepsy gene discovery, when I was a EuroEPINOMICS kid. read the blog post to understand more about the EuroEPINOMICS CoGIE Consortium...
