This week Hogne Ulla (epihunter) spoke with Charles Steward from England, UK and dad of a daughter with West syndrome (infantile spasms), a rare epilepsy syndrome with an early age of onset.

In the conversation, Charles shares his family's epilepsy journey including experiencing the first seizures, the road towards a diagnosis, participation in clinical trials and interaction with other families in the epilepsy community. 

Charles has been working on the human genome for over 25 years through his professional occupations. He's currently working for the digital health company Congenica which develops software for clinicians to interpret and respond to complex genomic data, relevant to the many rare epilepsy syndromes.
