Description : Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-14 is a severe neurologic disorder characterized
by onset in the first 6 months of life of refractory focal seizures and arrest of
psychomotor development. Ictal EEG shows discharges that arise randomly from various
areas of both hemispheres and migrate from one brain region to another. The disorder
presents as 'malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy' (MMPSI), a clinical
designation (summary by Barcia et al., 2012). For a general phenotypic description
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EIEE, see EIEE1 (308350).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the potassium channel, subfamily T, member 1 gene (KCNT1, 608167.0001);
