Generalized Epilepsy With Febrile Seizures Plus, Type 7; Gefsp7
Description
Mutations in the SCN9A gene cause a spectrum of seizure disorders, ranging from early-onset isolated febrile seizures to generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, type 7, which represents a more severe phenotype. Patients with isolated febrile seizures usually have onset between ages 5 months to 4 years and show spontaneous remission by age 6 years (summary by Singh et al., 2009), whereas patients with GEFS+ continue to have various types of febrile and afebrile seizures later in life (summary by Singh et al., 1999).Mutations in certain genes can cause a phenotypic spectrum of overlap between the isolated febrile phenotype and the GEFS+ phenotype. For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of GEFS+, see {604233}.For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of familial febrile seizures, see {121210}.
