Epilepsy can be caused by many factors that have nothing to do with genetics; head trauma, stroke, infections, tumors, and drug or alcohol abuse can all induce epilepsy.
Researchers usually find epilepsy genes by studying families in which it is very clear that epilepsy is a genetic trait passed on from parent to child.
Another way that epilepsy genes can be found is by finding families with epilepsy in which slight abnormalities occur in the way the brain develops, since abnormalities in brain development have long been associated with seizures.
