[c.5596G>T] Clinical description

The pedigree of a small family with four affected members is presented in article. The clinical features of each affected individual are described. Three affected individuals experienced febrile seizures persisting beyond six years of age, followed by onset of non-febrile seizures after the age of six. One affected individual (III-1) experienced afebrile myoclonic and atonic-astatic seizures beginning at the age of three and developed progressive learning disabilities. Her clinical and EEG features were consistent with myoclonic-astatic epilepsy, also known as Doose syndrome, one of the most severe seizure phenotypes identified in families with GEFS+. The fourth affected individual (III-2) continues to have febrile seizures without afebrile seizures, consistent with her young age(Spampanato J, et al. J Neurosci. 2004 Nov 3;24(44): 10022-34. [15525788]).
