Funded Activity Summary

Tumour associated epilepsy, a common, disabling problem for patients with brain tumours called gliomas is often refractory to medical treatment and the mechanisms by which gliomas cause seizures are unknown. This is the first extensive observational study looking at molecular factors within the brain such as Hyperpolarization ion channels, glutamate uptake receptors and ADAM22 genes that may help determine which patients with gliomas will develop epilepsy and which ones will not.
