Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Genetic heterogeneity of epileptic encephalopathy (IEE) mandates the use of gene-panels for diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 36-gene-panel next-generation sequencing was applied for IEE in two Iranian families. A literature search was performed using keywords to identify reported splicing mutations in SCN1A and perform genotype-phenotype correlation. RESULTS: An update of splicing mutations revealed...
