Epilepsy was documented in 64% of cases, a higher prevalence compared to previous reports. Patients were classified into three groups based on their electroclinical features, long-term outcome and response to therapy. A genotype-phenotype correlation linking the presence/severity of epilepsy to the nature of the structural/functional consequences of mutations was observed, providing a stratification based on genotype to improve the clinical management of these patients.
