Hunting for hidden genetic triggers of severe childhood epilepsy
NCT ID NCT02890641
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find genetic mutations in the brain that cause drug-resistant epilepsy in children. Researchers will compare DNA from blood and brain tissue, including samples from special electrodes placed in the brain. The goal is to better understand the root causes of these severe seizures, not to test a new treatment.
