NCT ID NCT04802135

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is creating a registry of 200 patients with a rare, severe epilepsy that starts in the first month of life, often linked to a mutation in the KCNQ2 gene. Researchers will collect data on seizures, brain activity, development, and long-term outcomes through questionnaires and interviews with parents. The goal is to better understand the condition and pave the way for future treatments.

What could go wrong
