Description : Benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures is an autosomal dominant disorder in which
afebrile seizures occur in clusters during the first year of life, without neurologic
sequelae (Shevell et al., 1986). See also benign familial infantile seizures (BFIS1;
601764), which has a slightly later onset, and benign neonatal seizures (see BFNS1;
121200), which has a slightly earlier onset. See also early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-11
(613721), a more severe disorder that also results from mutations in the SCN2A gene.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the alpha-1-subunit of the voltage-gated type II sodium channel
gene (SCN2A, 182390.0001);
