Epilepsy, Familial Focal, With Variable Foci 1; Ffevf1

Description

Familial focal epilepsy with variable foci (FFEVF) is 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 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 (summary by Klein et al., 2012). Detailed electrophysiologic, brain imaging, and/or histologic studies have indicated that some patients have subtle or clear evidence of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) (Baulac et al., 2015). Genetic Heterogeneity of Familial Focal Epilepsy With Variable FociSee also FFEVF2 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the NPRL2 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 3p21, FFEVF3 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the NPRL3 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 16p13, and FFEVF4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the SCN3A gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 2q24.
