I was wrong in my original comment, you can pass epilepsy through genetics. Although just because you have epilepsy doesn’t necessarily mean that it was passed on through genetics

My kids don't have epilepsy but I have a nephew who does. So I think it runs in a family

It is possible, but I myself have epilepsy, and I have two daughters, who do not have Epilepsy.

Then, again, there are two different percentage rates of possibilities between male and female of the child being diagnosed with epilepsy

I would ask my neuro doc. Sometimes articals posted on the net even though it seems like they are from a reputable source might not be correct.
