Hence, the study was conducted to assess the yield of genetic testing and the proportion of children where a positive genetic yield influenced treatment decisions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this retrospective observational study, electronic medical records of children (0\u201312\u2009years) with suspected genetic epilepsy who underwent genetic testing using whole exome sequencing, focused exome sequencing and epilepsy gene panels were retrieved. Genetic yield was ascertained based on the detection of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 100 patients with epilepsy underwent genetic testing. A yield of 53.8% (42\/78) was obtained. Pathogenic variants were identified in 18 (42.8%) cases and likely pathogenic variants in 24 (57.1%) cases. Yield was 66.6% each through whole exome sequencing, focused exome sequencing and 40% through Epilepsy gene panels (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.07). Yield was not statistically significant across different age groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.2). It was however found to significantly vary across different epilepsy syndromes with maximum yield in Epilepsy in infancy with migrating focal seizures in 2 (100%), followed by developmental and epileptic encephalopathy unspecified in 14 (77.7%), Dravet syndrome in 14 (60.8%), early infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy in 3 (60%), infantile epileptic spasm syndrome in 5 (35.7%), and other epileptic encephalopathies in 4 (30.7%) cases (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.04). After genetic diagnosis and drug optimization, drug\u2010refractory proportion reduced from 73.8% to 45.3%.

A specific genetic diagnosis facilitated tailored treatment leading to seizure freedom in 28.6% and marked seizure reduction in 54.7%
