CURE Epilepsy Funds Research to Investigate Mechanisms of Genetic Epilepsies
Three recent CURE Epilepsy grants awardees have contributed to numerous aspects of genetic epilepsies ranging from the development and application of new technology to study epilepsy genetics, to studying specific genes and their contributions to epilepsy, to exploring the epigenomic pattern associated with epilepsy.

Researchers Funded to Investigate Cardiac Biomarkers in Epilepsy Thanks to CURE Epilepsy
CURE Epilepsy has long been leading the charge in funding research on seizure-related biomarkers and is committed to advancing this research as it will have the potential to improve outcomes for people with epilepsy by identifying, for example, who may be at risk for epilepsy after a stroke to who may be at risk for epilepsy following a brain injury to who may not respond to antiseizure medications.

Drug-Resistant Epilepsy and Mortality-Why and When Do Neuromodulation and Epilepsy Surgery Reduce Overall Mortality
Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy suffer from an increased mortality rate, with the majority of deaths being epilepsy-related and 40% due to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Impact of epilepsy surgery on mortality has been investigated since the 1970s, with increased interest in this field during the past 15?years.
Research
Enhanced Understanding Epilepsy Section Now Available for Epilepsy Community
CURE Epilepsy today announced a significant expansion of the patient resources section of the CURE Epilepsy website. The update, developed with the generous support of SK life science, provides enhanced content for those living with epilepsy, their caregivers, and family members seeking to learn more about epilepsy.
Research
Largest Genetic Study of Epilepsy to Date Provides New Insights on Why Epilepsy Develops and Potential Treatments
The researchers identified 26 distinct areas in our DNA that appear to be involved in epilepsy. This included 19 which are specific to a particular form of epilepsy called 'genetic generalized epilepsy' (GGE).

CURE Epilepsy Statement on the Importance of Comprehensive Reproductive Healthcare for People With Epilepsy
As a non-profit organization devoted to the health and well-being of people with epilepsy, CURE Epilepsy believes that access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare is critically important for people of childbearing age who have epilepsy.

Pediatric Epilepsy Learning Healthcare System Quality of Life (PELHS-QOL-2): A Novel Health-Related Quality of Life Prompt for Children with Epilepsy
Pediatric epilepsy is often associated with diminished health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Our aim was to establish the validity of the Pediatric Epilepsy Learning Healthcare System Quality of Life (PELHS-QOL-2) questions, a novel two-item HRQOL prompt for children with epilepsy, primarily for use in clinical care.
