Epileptic Encephalopathy, Early Infantile, 51; Eiee51

Description

Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-51 is an autosomal recessive severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by onset of intractable seizures and hypotonia in the first days or weeks of life. Affected individuals have severely delayed psychomotor development and may show abnormal movements. Brain imaging shows nonspecific abnormalities, such as cerebral atrophy, cerebellar atrophy, and delayed myelination. Laboratory studies showed increased lactate, suggesting mitochondrial dysfunction (summary by Ait-El-Mkadem et al., 2017).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EIEE, see {308350}.
