Extensive clinical and experimental work has established a rationale for the conceptual
thinking about SUDEP mechanisms. The application of the global molecular profiling will be
invaluable in unraveling the individually unique genomic complexities and interactions that
underlie the physiological signature of each patient. At the same time, sophisticated model
systems will be critical in the iterative translation of human genetics, physiology,
pharmacological interventions, and in testing preventive interventions.
