Abstract excerpt
Mutations in SCN2A gene cause a variety of epilepsy syndromes. We report a novel SCN2A-associated epilepsy phenotype in monozygotic twins with tonic seizures soon after birth and a suppression-burst electroencephalography (EEG) pattern. We reviewed the medical records, EEG tracings, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neuropathologic findings, and performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) on Twin B's DNA and...
