Epilepsy, familial focal, with variable foci 4

An autosomal dominant form of epilepsy characterized by focal seizures arising from different cortical regions, including the temporal, frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes. Seizure types commonly include temporal lobe epilepsy, frontal lobe epilepsy, and nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. Some patients may have intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorders. Seizure onset usually occurs in the first or second decades, although later onset has been reported, and there is phenotypic variability within families. A subset of patients have structural brain abnormalities. Penetrance of the disorder is incomplete. FFEVF4 is characterized by onset of focal seizures in the first years of life.

Lissencephaly 2

A classic type lissencephaly associated with ataxia, intellectual disability, seizures and abnormalities of the cerebellum, hippocampus and brainstem.

Epilepsy, focal, with speech disorder and with or without impaired intellectual development

An autosomal dominant, highly variable neurologic disorder. Features range from severe early-onset seizures associated with delayed psychomotor development, persistent speech difficulties, and intellectual disability to a more benign entity characterized by childhood onset of mild or asymptomatic seizures associated with transient speech difficulties followed by remission of seizures in adolescence and normal psychomotor development. The disorder encompasses several clinical entities, including Landau-Kleffner syndrome, epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike and wave during slow-wave sleep, autosomal dominant rolandic epilepsy, intellectual disability and speech dyspraxia, and benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes.

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 74

A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE74 is an autosomal dominant form with onset in the first year of life.

Cone-rod synaptic disorder, congenital non-progressive

A non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by stable low vision, nystagmus, photophobia, a normal or near-normal fundus appearance, and no night blindness.

Rolandic epilepsy, impaired intellectual development, and speech dyspraxia, X-linked

A condition characterized by the association of rolandic seizures with oral and speech dyspraxia, and intellectual disability. Rolandic seizures occur during a period of significant brain maturation. During this time, dysfunction of neural network activities such as focal discharges may be associated with specific developmental disabilities resulting in specific cognitive impairments of language, visuo-spatial abilities or attention.

Epilepsy, familial temporal lobe, 8

A focal form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the temporal lobe. Seizures are usually accompanied by sensory symptoms, most often auditory in nature.

Epilepsy, nocturnal frontal lobe, 3

An autosomal dominant focal epilepsy characterized by nocturnal seizures with hyperkinetic automatisms and poorly organized stereotyped movements.

Epilepsy, nocturnal frontal lobe, 1

An autosomal dominant focal epilepsy characterized by nocturnal seizures with hyperkinetic automatisms and poorly organized stereotyped movements.

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 14

A rare epileptic encephalopathy of infancy that combines pharmacoresistant seizures with developmental delay. This severe neurologic disorder is characterized by onset in the first 6 months of life of refractory focal seizures and arrest of psychomotor development. Ictal EEG shows discharges that arise randomly from various areas of both hemispheres and migrate from one brain region to another.

Epilepsy, familial temporal lobe, 1

A focal form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the temporal lobe. Seizures are usually accompanied by sensory symptoms, most often auditory in nature.

Epilepsy, familial focal, with variable foci 1

An autosomal dominant form of epilepsy characterized by focal seizures arising from different cortical regions in different family members. Many patients have an aura and show automatisms during the seizures, whereas others may have nocturnal seizures. There is often secondary generalization. Some patients show abnormal interictal EEG, and some patients may have intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorders. Seizure onset usually occurs in the first or second decades, although later onset has been reported, and there is phenotypic variability within families. Penetrance of the disorder is incomplete.

Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia 3 with or without generalized epilepsy

An autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by absence seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia and involuntary dystonic or choreiform movements. Onset is usually in childhood. Patients may have seizures only, dyskinesia only, or both.

Epilepsy, nocturnal frontal lobe, 4

An autosomal dominant focal epilepsy characterized by nocturnal seizures associated with fear sensation, tongue movements, and nocturnal wandering, closely resembling nightmares and sleep walking.
