STXBP1-related encephalopathy presenting as infantile spasms and generalized tremor in three patients

Abstract

Mutations in STXBP1 are relatively frequent in patients with infantile epileptic encephalopathies. STXBP1-related encephalopathy may present as drug-responsive infantile spasms with focal/lateralized discharges. Generalized tremor appearing after the first year of life may be a clue to the diagnosis in some patients.
