Quantitative EEG Spectral Features Differentiate Genetic Epilepsies and Predict Neurologic Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: EEG plays an integral part in the diagnosis and management of children with genetic epilepsies. Nevertheless, how quantitative EEG features differ between genetic epilepsies and neurological outcomes remains largely unknown. Here, we aimed to identify quantitative EEG biomarkers in children with epilepsy and a genetic diagnosis in STXBP1, SCN1A, or SYNGAP1, and to assess how quantitative EEG features associate with neurological outcomes in genetic epilepsies more broadly. We analyzed individuals with pathogenic variants in STXBP1 (95 EEGs, n=20), SCN1A (154 EEGs, n=68), and SYNGAP1 (46 EEGs, n=21) and a control cohort of individuals without epilepsy or known cerebral disease (847 EEGs, n=806).
