Does epilepsy or seizure genetically transfers from parents to children particularly from father?
Vdbinjola
There are many causes of epilepsy. It will depend on what the father's cause is. It can be hereditary, but more often than not it isn't. So it is something that cannot be answered here. Only a doctor that knows about a particular individual's case could answer the question, and even then they could not always be certain.
