Risk of passing epilepsy to children?

Just curious, wouldn’t this post get more exposure in the Epilepsy section?
Not trying to run the show, just wondering.

I’m sorry your daughter has Epilepsy and I can imagine how difficult it is to not know if your grandsons will have Epilepsy or not. I’ve had Epilepsy for over 50 years and have always wanted to know why but I’m resolved I never will. Most Epilepsy sufferers will never know why they came down with it. Your grandsons may benefit by some genetic testing which may find a deletion or gene mutation that may contribute to some types of epilepsies. Genetic testing helps scientists and physicians better understand how various genes may interact to produce certain types of Seizures. Some perhaps all epilepsies have a genetic component, we also know that epilepsy can run in families. Does anyone else in your family have the condition? Specific abnormalities have been discovered on certain genes that researchers believe are responsible for some Epilepsies. From the little I know it will be a waiting game to find out about your grandsons. Perhaps Mayo Clinic or another of the reputable universities has some information on genetic/DNA testing for Epilepsy. There has also been pharmaceutical advancements where DNA testing can tell what the best medication would be most beneficial to control seizures. I don’t know if all Anti-convulsants are able to be tested though.
The one thing I do know for sure is There’s no point to worry about tomorrow, 99% of what you worried about will never come true and the other 1% will happen anyway.
Wishing all of you the very best,
