Underlining indicates treatment with clinical response (decreased seizure frequency or severity), and italics indicates a negative response (aggravation of seizure frequency and/or severity). Abbreviations are as follows: NA, not applicable; cWES, clinical whole-exome sequencing; WGS, whole-genome sequencing; GDD, global developmental delay; ID, intellectual disability; IQ, intelligence quotient; ASD, autism spectrum disorder; DEE, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy; MA, myoclonic absence; MA photo+, myoclonic absences with photosensitivity; GTC, generalized tonic-clonic; Fo, focal; M, myoclonic; A, absence; At, atonic; AED, anti-epileptic therapy; FEL, felbamate; VPA, valproic acid; LTG, lamotrigine; LEV, levetiracetam; ETH, ethosuximide; CZP, clonazepam; CBD, cannabidiol; CLB, clobazam; LTG, lamotrigine; OXBZ, oxcarbazepine; Stiri, stiripentol; EEG, electroencephalography; gen., generalized; SW, spike-wave; photo+, photosensitive; PSW, poly-spike and wave; biF, bi-frontal predominance; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; and ADHD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
