Life expectancy in people with newly diagnosed epilepsy.
Epilepsy carries a risk of premature mortality, but little is known about life expectancy in people with the condition. The UK National General Practice Study of Epilepsy is a prospective, population-based study of people with newly diagnosed epilepsy.

However, various indicators may result in inconsistent conclusions.

We investigated the influence of variants in the genes encoding neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF) and brain-derive...
