London, November 5 : Scientists in the US have found that inheriting two genetic mutations, which can individually led to epilepsy, may indeed prevent seizures.

“In the genetics of the brain, two wrongs can make a right,” said Nature Neurology quoted Dr. Jeffrey L. Noebels, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), as saying.

“We believe these findings have great significance to clinicians as we move toward relying upon genes to predict neurological disease,” he added.

The researchers say that their finding may lead to new ways for treating epilepsy using gene-directed therapy.
