November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month!

A child’s epilepsy might actually be a genetic disease, like those affected by Dup15q Syndrome.

Seizures are common in individuals with Dup15q Syndrome. They can happen at any age but commonly begin at times of growth and change, such as infancy and puberty. If you believe your child has had a seizure, please consult
your neurologist.

In some cases, if a child has had 2 or more seizures without a known cause, getting a diagnosis could mean more options for treating and managing their seizures. Ask a doctor about a gene panel test for epilepsy. https://canepilepsybegenetic.com/
