Study of epilepsy and movement disorder genes in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at children with epilepsy and movement disorders to better understand the genes involved. It aims to help doctors recognize and treat these conditions more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 0 and 18 years old.
- You have a movement disorder (like unusual muscle movements or coordination problems).
- You have a known disease-causing change in one of the listed genes.
- You do not have a different diagnosis that explains your symptoms.

This study is creating a registry to track the health of people who have specific genetic changes that cause epilepsy and uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia). It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they change over time.
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of epilepsy in children. It may help your family better understand what could be driving seizures, even if the cause isn’t known yet.
This trial is for people of any age with a genetic movement disorder who are getting or considering deep brain stimulation (DBS). It tries to match the best DBS settings for each person.
This trial is for children in Vietnam who have a movement disorder with an unknown cause. Researchers want to learn more by doing genetic testing, which might help find better treatments or answers for families.
This trial uses a new, more detailed DNA test (long-read sequencing) to find the cause of severe epilepsy with developmental delays in children when standard genetic testing did not provide an answer. It aims to help families understand the genetic basis of their child's condition.
This study aims to better understand SCN1A-related epilepsies by following patients over time. Researchers hope to learn more about how the condition progresses to help develop future treatments.
