Phenotypes associated with the disease developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 103 (OMIM:619913):
- Poor head control (HP:0002421): Difficulty to maintain correct position of the head while standing or sitting. Infant head lag is observed when the head seems to flop around or lags posteriorly behind the trunk. Several articles have maintained that head lag should be absent by age 3 to 4 months. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)
- Bilateral tonic-clonic seizure (HP:0002069): A bilateral tonic-clonic seizure is a seizure defined by a tonic (bilateral increased tone, lasting seconds to minutes) and then a clonic (bilateral sustained rhythmic jerking) phase. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 4/8. (PMID:35314505)
- 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: 1/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Delayed CNS myelination (HP:0002188): Delayed myelination in the central nervous system. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)
- Focal impaired awareness seizure (HP:0002384): Focal impaired awareness seizure (or focal seizure with impaired or lost awareness) is a type of focal-onset seizure characterized by some degree (which may be partial) of impairment of the person's awareness of themselves or their surroundings at any point during the seizure. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Generalized non-motor (absence) seizure (HP:0002121): A generalized non-motor (absence) seizure is a type of a type of dialeptic seizure that is of electrographically generalized onset. It is a generalized seizure characterized by an interruption of activities, a blank stare, and usually the person will be unresponsive when spoken to. Any ictal motor phenomena are minor in comparison to these non-motor features. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 4/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Hypotonia (HP:0001252): Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/9. (PMID:35314505;PMID:34448338)
- Infantile onset (HP:0003593): Onset of signs or symptoms of disease between 28 days to one year of life. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 8/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Ataxia (HP:0001251): Ataxia refers to impaired coordination of voluntary muscle movement. Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Myoclonic seizure (HP:0032794): A myoclonic seizure is a type of motor seizure characterized by sudden, brief (<100 ms) involuntary single or multiple contraction of muscles or muscle groups of variable topography (axial, proximal limb, distal). Myoclonus is less regularly repetitive and less sustained than is clonus. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 7/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Aphasia (HP:0002381): An acquired language impairment of some or all of the abilities to produce or comprehend speech and to read or write. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Severe intellectual disability (HP:0010864): Severe intellectual disability (ID) is defined as a type of ID characterized by severely sub-average adaptive functioning and intellectual functioning, with an intelligence quotient (IQ) the range of 20-34. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)
- Continuous spike and waves during slow sleep (HP:0031491): Diffuse, bilateral and recently also unilateral or focal localization spike-wave occurring in slow sleep or non-rapid eye movement sleep. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/8. (PMID:35314505)

- Macrocephaly (HP:0000256): Occipitofrontal (head) circumference greater than 97th centile compared to appropriate, age matched, sex-matched normal standards. Alternatively, a apparently increased size of the cranium. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Intellectual disability (HP:0001249): The term intellectual disability or intellectual developmental disorder is used to describe significantly sub-average intellectual and adaptive functioning based on clinical assessment and as measured by individually administered, appropriately normed, standardized and validated tests of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during the developmental period from infancy through adolescence. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 8/8. (PMID:35314505)
- Neonatal onset (HP:0003623): Onset of signs or symptoms of disease within the first 28 days of life. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:31972370;PMID:34448338)
- Opisthotonus (HP:0002179): Opisthotonus is defined as a dramatic abnormal posture due to spastic contraction of the extensor muscles of the neck, trunk, and lower extremities that produces a severe backward arching from neck to heel. In most cases, the trunk is elevated off the ground by a few inches. It is usually sudden in onset and can be sustained or repetitive. It can be considered a variant of decerebrate posturing involving a hyperextension of the neck, back, and limbs. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)

- Feeding difficulties (HP:0011968): Impaired ability to eat related to problems gathering food and getting ready to suck, chew, or swallow it. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)
- Atonic seizure (HP:0010819): Atonic seizure is a type of motor seizure characterized by a sudden loss or diminution of muscle tone without apparent preceding myoclonic or tonic event lasting about 1 to 2 seconds, involving head, trunk, jaw, or limb musculature. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/8. (PMID:35314505)
- 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: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)

- Epileptic spasm (HP:0011097): A sudden flexion, extension, or mixed extension-flexion of predominantly proximal and truncal muscles that is usually more sustained than a myoclonic movement but not as sustained as a tonic seizure. Limited forms may occur: Grimacing, head nodding, or subtle eye movements. Epileptic spasms frequently occur in clusters. Infantile spasms are the best known form, but spasms can occur at all ages. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:31972370;PMID:34448338)

- Autistic behavior (HP:0000729): Persistent deficits in social interaction and communication and interaction as well as a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interest as well as repetitive patterns of behavior. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/8. (PMID:35314505)
- 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. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)
- Drooling (HP:0002307): Habitual flow of saliva out of the mouth. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:31972370)
- 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:31972370)
