A study conducted by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine examined the genetic variation in sudden death in the young (SDY) using whole genome sequencing. The study found that the genomes of SDY cases were enriched for rare, potentially damaging variants in epilepsy, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmia-related genes. Additionally, a correlation was observed between rare epilepsy variation and younger age at death. The findings highlight the importance of considering epilepsy genes when evaluating SDY. The study was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the American Heart Association. [Extracted from the article] |
