Description : Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-16 is a severe autosomal recessive neurologic
disorder characterized by onset of seizures in the first weeks or months of life.
Seizures can be of various types, are unresponsive to medication, last for long periods
of time, and occur frequently. Affected infants show psychomotor regression or lack
of psychomotor development, as well as other neurologic features such as extrapyramidal
signs and hypotonia. Most die in childhood (summary by Duru et al., 2010 and Milh
et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of EIEE, see EIEE1 (308350).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
