Epilepsy, Familial Focal, With Variable Foci 3; Ffevf3

Description

Familial focal epilepsy with variable foci (FFEVF) is 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 (TLE), frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE), and nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE). A subset of patients have structural brain abnormalities, particularly focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). There is significant incomplete penetrance, with many unaffected mutation carriers within a family (summary by Ricos et al., 2016).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of FFEVF, see FFEVF1 (OMIM ).
