[Clinical and genetic characteristics of focal epilepsy in children caused by GATOR1 complex gene variation].

GATOR1 complex gene variation can lead to genetic focal epilepsy, which usually has early onset with frequent seizures. Most of the patients have focal epileptic form discharges on EEG, and there is usually no structural lesion in brain imaging. Most of the patients have hereditary loss-of-function variations. Approximately half of cases are drug-resistant epilepsy.
