This question haunts Erin Gard, because the genetic cause of her epilepsy remains a mystery —as it does for so many others. Since CURE Epilepsy’s founding, more than 1,000 genes implicated in epilepsy have been discovered, but our work remains unfinished.
Friend,
with your support, we can fund the work of researchers like Gemma Carvill, PhD, and Elizabeth Gerard, MD, at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, whose novel interdisciplinary research seeks to detect genetic causes of seizures in focal epilepsies and identify seizure biomarkers. Each new discovery in epilepsy genetics brings us closer to understanding epilepsy’s causes, enabling the development of targeted treatments and cures.
Please join our effort today with a gift.
