A literature review which had data on 151 individuals revealed a prevalence rate for epilepsy of around 49%, whilst the recent Cambridge University study found similar. Recent information from our data collection programme has the number at 44% (sample size 58) for seizures.

A study found that seizures are a significant predictor of adaptive ability in children with CASK. Does seizure activity disrupt cognitive development in our children, or is that the individuals with more severe intellectual disability are more susceptible to seizures?

The Cambridge University study found that epilepsy was more common in individuals with MICPCH (53.85%) than microcephaly only (33.33%). Current ongoing studies into CASK and epilepsy will reveal more detailed information on this, so stay tuned! #awareness #epilepsy #purpleday

A literature review of 151 patients as well as the recent Cambridge University study revealed that infantile spasms, generalised seizures, focal seizures and myoclonic epilepsies can all occur in our children. In addition, many individuals have more than 1 type of seizure.

Founder of CASK Research, Laura Hattersley, attended the GW4 Epilepsy meeting on Thursday, at the University of Bristol. She presented on the latest understanding of CASK-associated epilepsy, whilst the wonderful MRes student, Anya, presented her findings in Drosophila.

Register your interest via the QR code or here: bhampsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8G… We already have five families taking part! With a few more families the researchers at University of Birmingham should be able to share some meaningful CASK-specific outcomes with our community. #caskgene
