Patients listed by each individual's unqiue identifier. N/A=not available. Y=yes. N=no. M=male. F=female. ASD=atrial septal defect. GTCS=generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Head=head circumference. Individuals with letters a and b after the number are siblings. Recent cognitive or developmental assessments were not available for most individuals, but the global development was estimated for individual 8a as that of a 6-week-old baby when she was 12 weeks old, for individual 5a as that of a 1-year-old boy when he was 3 years old, and individual 1 had a developmental quotient of 55 with autism spectrum disorder when he was 4 years old. Hearing loss was qualified as profound sensorineural hearing loss in individuals 1, 2b, 3, 4, and 6. Cochlear implants have been beneficial in individual 3.
Antiepileptic drugs used or tried with limited success in individual 3 include oxcarbazepine, clobazam, levetiracetam, valproic acid, lamotrigine, sulthiame, diazepam, clonazepam, midazolam, zonisamide, and cortisone pulses. In family 8, DNA was not available from individual 8b, only for 8a and parents. Sensorineural hearing loss was unilateral in individual 12a; in individual 15, it was severe on the right and moderate on the left.
