Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project
The Epilepsy Phenome Genome Project is the largest research study ever created to identify genes that influence epilepsy and genes that affect an individual’s response to seizure medications. The National Institutes of Health is partnering with major epilepsy centers around the country to collect detailed information on 5,250 individuals over five years. The goal is to understand what causes epilepsy, which treatment will be effective, and why some families have multiple relatives with seizures.
