Preferred Label : Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 17;
Symbol : DEE17;
CISMeF acronym : EIEE17;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : EIEE17; Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 17;
Description : Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-17 is a severe neurologic disorder characterized
by onset of intractable seizures in the first weeks or months of life and usually
associated with EEG abnormalities. Affected infants have very poor psychomotor development
and may have brain abnormalities, such as cerebral atrophy or thin corpus callosum.
Some patients may show involuntary movements (summary by Nakamura et al., 2013). 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 guanine nucleotide-binding protein, alpha-activating activity
polypeptide O gene (GNAO1, 139311.0001);
