CONCLUSIONS
In patients with epileptic encephalopathy, the evidence found does not allow determining the impact of genetic diagnosis with complete exome sequencing on clinical management. Moderate-quality evidence indicates that the diagnostic yield of the test would be less than 30%. No studies comparing this technology with other genetic tests have been found.
In the United States, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the private insurance companies Anthem and Cigna mention its use in view of suspected defined syndrome with high genetic heterogeneity for which the use of a test targeted to a single gene or a specific panel would not be convenient, and the results, both positive or negative, would affect management.
