Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lethal neonatal rigidity and multifocal seizure syndrome (RMFSL, OMIM 614498) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the onset of rigidity and intractable seizures at or soon after birth.

This study aimed to determine the underlying pathogenic mutations of a Chinese family with RMFSL and to confirm the effect of...
