First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study is looking for genetic heart problems in people with epilepsy that might raise their risk of sudden unexpected death. Researchers will test DNA from 600 adults and their relatives to find known heart-related gene changes. The goal is to better understand why some epilepsy patients die suddenly, not to test a new treatment.
