Popis: Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between clinical indicators and gene dysregulation in different types of epilepsy, while also seeking to identify a diagnostic model capable of distinguishing between focal and generalized seizures. This highlights the critical importance of understanding clinical indicators and gene dysregulation for targeted therapeutic interventions to effectively address the specific seizure types effectively. Materials and methods: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the peripheral blood of epilepsy patients (n = 100) and a control group (n = 51) to determine the differential gene expression. Our analysis involved a range of statistical approaches, including correlation analysis to establish the association between clinical indicators and gene dysregulation, and principal component analysis to highlight distinct disease group from control group. Furthermore, we developed diagnostic models using logistic regression to aid in the accurate diagnosis of epilepsy. Results: Among several selected genes in this study such as AVP (AUC = 0.832, p
