300884 | OMIM | Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 36 (DEE36) | A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe childhood onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. Some DEE36 patients may present with an abnormal isoelectric focusing of serum transferrin, consistent with a diagnostic classification of congenital disorder of glycosylation type I. Congenital disorders of glycosylation result in a wide variety of clinical features, such as defects in the nervous system development, psychomotor retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, coagulation disorders, and immunodeficiency. The broad spectrum of features reflects the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
