Infantile Epileptic Spasm Syndrome Caused by TAF1 Missense Variants: Expanding the Epileptic Phenotype and Revealing Underlying Impairments in Neuronal Excitability and Development.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Pathogenic variants in TAF1 have previously been associated with X-linked intellectual disability and X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism. Epilepsy is observed in approximately 24.4% of affected individuals, ranging from focal seizures to generalized seizures including either tonic-clonic, tonic, myoclonic, atonic or absences.
