First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows about 300 children who had seizures shortly after birth to see if their genes influence whether they develop epilepsy later in childhood. Researchers will combine genetic information with brain scans and EEG results to create a risk score. No new treatments are tested; the goal is to better understand and predict epilepsy risk.
