However, in humans, the genes associated with epilepsy spontaneously mutate, whereas in dogs, the gene repeats itself over and over again until it stops working, and epilepsy results.

Genetic studies in humans and mice with idiopathic epilepsy have revealed a number of causative genes for specific forms of epilepsy 31.

Despite strong evidence that genetics is important in determining the risk of idiopathic epilepsy, numerous gene mapping studies have failed to identify a locus that accounts for that risk in either dogs or humans.
