Table 3.
Key characteristics of epilepsy and development after 3 years of age in subjects with FOXG1-related disorders. Subjects with deletions/intragenic mutations show significant differences compared to those with duplications in mean age of epilepsy diagnosis, current number of anti-epileptic drugs, ambulation, and functional hand use. Verbal language and social contact were impaired equally in both groups.
| Characteristic | Deletions & intragenic mutations | Duplications | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean age epilepsy diagnosis (months) | 22.3 | 7.4 | 0.0002 |
| Number of overnight hospitalizations | 0.4 | 0.5 | 1.00 |
| Number of AEDs | 1.7 | 0.16 | <0.0005 |
| Nonambulatory | 1.0 | 0.2 | 0.04 |
| Absent verbal language | 0.95 | 0.7 | 0.48 |
| Poor functional hand use | 0.86 | 0.0 | <0.0005 |
| Impaired social contact | 0.48 | 0.5 | 0.94 |
