Hello, I'm Dr. John Millichap.
I'm a pediatric epileptologist at the Ann
and Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
and an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology
at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
My research involves the diagnosis and treatment
of young children with epilepsy, often with a genetic cause.
Today I'm going to speak to about
KCNQ2 developmental epileptic encephalopathy.
This is a summary of work that's been done by myself
and others, over the last eight years or so,
studying how KCNQ2 is involved with neonatal onset epilepsy.
