Abstract

Objective The leading cause of epilepsy‐related premature mortality is sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The cause of SUDEP remains unknown. To search for genetic risk factors in SUDEP cases, we performed an exome‐based analysis of rare variants. Methods Demographic and clinical informati...
