National Epilepsy Awareness Day

National Epilepsy Awareness Day

The Dup15q Alliance is proud to be a part of this international day of collaboration and the global efforts to raise awareness and mobilize the epilepsy community to take action.

Over half of the individuals with Dup15q syndrome, whether idic, interstitial or mosaic, will experience at least one seizure in their lifetime. Some seizures are easily controlled with the first medication, other seizures are controlled for a while and then become more complex, and some affected individuals experience intractable seizures that have never been controlled with medication. We are dedicated to the fight for care, advocacy, research and education about seizures in dup15q syndrome.
