Phenotypes associated with the disease developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 65 (OMIM:618008):
- Highly arched eyebrow (HP:0002553): Increased height of the central portion of the eyebrow, forming a crescent, semicircular, or inverted U shape. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Cerebral atrophy (HP:0002059): Atrophy (wasting, decrease in size of cells or tissue) affecting the cerebrum. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:29534297)
- Hypsarrhythmia (HP:0002521): Hypsarrhythmia is abnormal interictal high amplitude waves and a background of irregular spikes. There is continuous (during wakefulness), high-amplitude (>200 Hz), generalized polymorphic slowing with no organized background and multifocal spikes demonstrated by electroencephalography (EEG). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Tented upper lip vermilion (HP:0010804): Triangular appearance of the oral aperture with the apex in the midpoint of the upper vermilion and the lower vermilion forming the base. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Microcephaly (HP:0000252): Head circumference below 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Absent speech (HP:0001344): Complete lack of development of speech and language abilities. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 4/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Cerebellar atrophy (HP:0001272): Cerebellar atrophy is defined as a cerebellum with initially normal structures, in a posterior fossa with normal size, which displays enlarged fissures (interfolial spaces) in comparison to the foliae secondary to loss of tissue. Cerebellar atrophy implies irreversible loss of tissue and result from an ongoing progressive disease until a final stage is reached or a single injury, e.g. an intoxication or infectious event. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:29534297)
- Seizure (HP:0001250): A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 4/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Generalized hypotonia (HP:0001290): Generalized muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/4. (PMID:29534297)
- EEG with burst suppression (HP:0010851): The burst suppression pattern in electroencephalography refers to a characteristic periodic pattern of low voltage (<10 microvolts) suppressed background and a relatively shorter pattern of higher amplitude slow, sharp, and spiking complexes. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Epileptic encephalopathy (HP:0200134): A condition in which epileptiform abnormalities are believed to contribute to the progressive disturbance in cerebral function. Epileptic encephalaopathy is characterized by (1) electrographic EEG paroxysmal activity that is often aggressive, (2) seizures that are usually multiform and intractable, (3) cognitive, behavioral and neurological deficits that may be relentless, and (4) sometimes early death. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:29534297)
- Ventriculomegaly (HP:0002119): An increase in size of the ventricular system of the brain. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:29534297)
- Plagiocephaly (HP:0001357): Asymmetric head shape, which is usually a combination of unilateral occipital flattening with ipsilateral frontal prominence, leading to rhomboid cranial shape. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Spasticity (HP:0001257): A motor disorder characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes with increased muscle tone, exaggerated (hyperexcitable) tendon reflexes. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/4. (PMID:29534297)
- Autosomal dominant inheritance (HP:0000006): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:29534297)
- Hyperreflexia (HP:0001347): Hyperreflexia is the presence of hyperactive stretch reflexes of the muscles. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/4. (PMID:29534297)
