Dravet Syndrome Natural History Study. The Natural History study will recruit and follow children and adults with Dravet Syndrome to track how often and how severely issues like behavior, development, sleep, appetite, autonomic symptoms, and motor function occur and change over time. The study will establish a robust database that will capture standardized clinical, neuropsychological, and parent-reported data on key signs and symptoms across the lifetime. The study will also explore how these outcomes connect to specific genetic changes to better understand how different types of mutations might influence Dravet Syndrome. This study will increase understanding of Dravet syndrome, and lead to better design of treatments and clinical trials.
