Participation
We need the help of many hundreds of children, adolescents and adults with IGE, as well as their families to find the genes that cause Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy. By joining our study, you and your family play an important role in finding the causes of certain seizure types. You contribute to advancing science and help provide the understanding of the origins of epilepsy that will lead to new treatments directed to the actual causes of epilepsy.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with epilepsy or has a child who has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you can take part in our studies. You and your family will be helping to find the causes of certain seizure types and to advance science to better understand genetic origins of epilepsy. You will be able to contribute towards a brighter future for hundreds of thousands of children and adolescents throughout the world.
