Epilepsy Research UK (ERUK) has been granted £25,000 from The Freemasons’ Grand 
Charity to help fund research into a recently identified type of epilepsy syndrome
that starts in infancy.

Funding from ERUK will enable the researchers to test blood samples from around 
200 children who developed epilepsy in infancy to see if they show signs of this
mutation.

Laura Chapman, Chief Executive of [The Freemasons’ Grand Charity](http://www.grandcharity.org)
said: “Over 440,000 people in the UK have epilepsy and The Freemasons’ Grand Charity
is delighted to be supporting this important research into the cause and prevention
of the condition. Through our grants we aim to make a significant difference to 
people in real need.”
