Funded Activity Summary

Severe epilepsies of infancy (SEI) are characterised by frequent seizures and are often resistant to treatment. The prognosis is typically poor. The cause is unknown in many infants. This study will identify genes and brain malformations causing SEI, determine the frequency and clinical features of each cause, and measure the diagnostic yield of genetic testing and brain imaging. The findings will improve timely diagnosis of SEI and guide research priorities for development of novel therapies.
