ClinConnect Summary

The Human Epilepsy Genetics–Neuronal Migration Disorders Study is a research trial aimed at finding out which genes are linked to conditions like epilepsy, brain malformations, and cognitive disorders, such as autism and intellectual disabilities. This study is currently looking for participants of all ages and genders who have these specific brain or cognitive disorders.

If you or someone you know has a brain malformation or a cognitive disorder, you may be eligible to join the study. Participants can expect to contribute to important research that may help improve understanding and treatment of these conditions. This trial is focused on identifying genetic factors, which could lead to better care and support for individuals affected by these disorders. Your involvement could make a difference in advancing medical knowledge in this area.
