OMIM : ⁵⁶ Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures-plus (GEFS+) is a familial epilepsy syndrome with extremely variable expressivity. Seizure phenotypes include classic infantile febrile seizures, febrile seizures persisting beyond age 6 years or accompanied by afebrile generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS), generalized or localization-related epilepsy, and more rarely, severe seizures with encephalopathy (summary by Poduri et al., 2009). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of GEFS+, see 604233. (613828)
