RECRUITINGOBSERVATIONAL
Etiology and Treatment of Neonatal Seizure
Gene Profiling and Individualized Treatment of Neonatal Seizure in China
About This Trial
Genetic diagnosis for neonates suffering from epilepsy has important implications for treatment, prognosis, and development of precision medicine strategies. Investigator performed exome sequencing (ES) or targeted sequencing on neonates with seizure onset within the first month of life. Investigator subgrouped our patients based on the onset age of seizure into neonatal and before 1 year (1-12 months), to compare the clinical and genetic features and treatment strategies.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- severe seizures in neonates or generalized epilepsy or intractable epilepsy in infancy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures,
- seizures onset before 1 year of age,
- epileptic syndromes/epileptic-encephalopathies with unknown etiology.
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Patients were excluded if they had traumas, central nervous system infections, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, vascular events, systemic infections, and diagnosed metabolic disorders, and pathogenic copy-number variants were identified using array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
