GENETIC EPILEPSY WITH FEBRILE SEIZURES PLUS (GEFS+) SPECTRUM

Diagnostic criteria for this syndrome

This syndrome has a highly variable clinical phenotype in different affected individuals in a family. Febrile seizures are the hallmark of this syndrome but in families with GEFS+, not all family members have febrile seizures. As such, unlike for other epilepsy syndromes, it is not possible to present a table with mandatory diagnostic criteria for this syndrome.
