SUMMARYPurpose: Previous reports have summarized the seizures types occurring in 1p36 deletion syndrome.

Methods: Based on clinical charts, we retrospectively analyzed the evolution of both the EEG findings and seizures. Epilepsy and mental retardation are frequently found in chromosomal abnormalities syndromes. In such syn-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
