6q Terminal Deletion Syndrome Associated with a Distinctive EEG and Clinical Pattern: A Report of Five Cases

Abstract

We suggest that epilepsy associated with 6q terminal deletions is a new entity. Patients with dysmorphic features associated with focal occipital epilepsy, colpocephaly, and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, thalami, and brainstem should be considered candidates for testing for 6q subtelomere deletions.
