Study Summary
Investigators at Boston Children's Hospital are conducting research in order to better understand the genetic factors which may contribute to epilepsy and related disorders. These findings may help explain the broad spectrum of clinical characteristics and outcomes seen in people with epilepsy.
Primary Outcome
Use exome and/or whole genome sequencing to identify genetic variants. Detailed clinical information will be collected via medical records and patient questionnaire, as well as biological parents' exome sequencing to classify variants per ACMG guidelines.
