               This table summarizes the details of genotype and phenotype of all individuals in the cohort. *Indicates the only individual in the cohort with
               verbal communication abilities. #Indicates individuals with a normal brain MRI on repeat study. GTC: generalized tonic-clonic; ACC: absence of
               corpus callosum; MC: microcephaly; CC: corpus callosum; WM: white matter; PV: periventricular; SW: spike wave.

               duration (i.e., 1-h vs. 24-h or longer EEG) or age at the time of EEG between the two cohorts. A larger
               prospective study controlling for these variables is needed. There was no specific correlation between EEG
               results and developmental trajectories or age in our patient group.
