This study is looking at levels of GABA (a brain chemical that helps calm nerve activity) in children with Dravet Syndrome and healthy children. Researchers will collect blood samples to measure GABA levels. They will also use non-invasive brain tests to see if these measures can help understand how GABA works in Dravet Syndrome. The goal is to find new ways to monitor GABA levels in the brain, which could help guide future treatments. The study is open to all genders, from birth to 18 years old. We don't have information on the current recruitment status.
