Name
Familial focal epilepsy with variable foci
Description
Familial focal epilepsy with variable foci (FFEVF) is an autosomal dominant form of epilepsy characterized by focal seizures arising from different cortical regions, including the temporal, frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes. Recently, it has been identified that mutations in the mTOR pathway regulators, DEPDC5, NPRL2 and NPRL3 cause this disease.
