Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find the genes that cause Rolandic epilepsy and its related traits
Detailed Description:
Rolandic epilepsy RE is the most common type of childhood epilepsy-affecting more than 50000 children in the United States-and has a complex genetic inheritance The seizure prognosis is relatively benign however many children with RE also have problems with speech and language reading and motor coordination Symptoms of the disorder overlap with more severe types of epilepsy
The purpose of this study is to find the genes that influence RE and its related traits Identifying genetic causes for the variants would improve diagnosis and allow for early intervention
Researchers will enroll 1000 children with RE and 3000 controls for participation in the study The scientists will request medical histories and salivary DNA samples from the participants Participation can be completed by mail and telephone
Results from this study should provide important information regarding diagnosis and prognosis of RE may be useful in clinical management and eventually may lead to a cure for this and other forms of epilepsy
