In AP-4 complex disease, epilepsy could arise beyond early infancy, until adolescence, with variable combination of generalized and focal seizures. The prognosis was favourable. We observed a common electroencephalographic signature - combined focal/generalized and reflex abnormalities - which may constitute a biomarker of AP-4 deficiency with epilepsy, applicable to inform genetic testing and disentangle the differential diagnosis.
