Individual 1242500 was also previously identified with a pathogenic de novo mutation in CHAMP1 (Isidor et al.42). Underlining indicates treatment with clinical response (decreased seizure frequency or severity), and italics indicates a negative response (aggravation of seizure frequency and/or severity).
