XLR Cerebellar creatine defic syndrome 1 - characterised by mental retardation, severe speech delay, behavioural abnormalities and seizures. Bizzi et al, 2002 - child with severe neurological disabilities incl seizures. Hahn et al, 2002 - 5 male sin a sibship of 10 with MR and seizures. Schiaffino et al, 2005 - 21 month old boy - EEG showed slow diffuse hypersynchronisms with abnormal multifocal spikes. Battini et al, 2007 - 9.5 year old Italian boy - seizures reported. Comeaux et al, 2013 - 22 patients with confirmed deleterious mutations in SLC6A8 gene who had clinical information - 27% had seizures. Van de Kamp et al, 2013 - retrospective analysis from 85 families - many previoulsy reported - 59% had seizures.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m.

Comment when marking as ready: Associated with relevant phenotype in OMIM and as confirmed Gen2Phen gene. At least four variants reported
in at least four unrelated male cases in which seizures are a phenotypic feature.Created: 3 Dec 2018, 2:38 p.m.
