neonatal/infantile epilepsy syndrome febrile seizures plus, genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 2018-06-22T23:58:47Z true These epilepsy syndromes are characterized by the presence of febrile seizures in an individual that may continue past the usual age where these are expected to resolve and/or be accompanied by afebrile seizures that may be generalized seizures (tonic-clonic, atonic, myoclonic, myoclonic-atonic or absence) or focal seizures. Febrile seizures plus and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus are distinguished on the basis of family history. A number of dominantly inherited genes have been linked to these syndromes, with implications for specific genetic counseling, due to the variable severity of the resulting epilepsy in different family members. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25917466 MONDO:0100027
