Abstract
Our findings suggest that SUDEP is a common cause of death among children and young adults with isodicentric chromosome 15q11.2q13 duplications and patients with the most severe neurologic dysfunction may be at highest risk. Further studies are needed to examine if this specific genetic defect plays a role in the mechanism of SUDEP in these patients.
