Abstract
Background
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with spike-and-wave activation in sleep (DEE-SWAS) is a rare neurodevelopmental spectrum of disorders marked by regression associated with spike-and-wave activation in sleep.
Methods
As roughly 10% have a related genetic underpinning, we sought to describe narrative clinical histories of four patients at a single academic medical center with monogenic variants associated with DEE-SWAS. In sharing this case series, we aim to build on recent work investigating genetic DEE-SWAS.
Results
Findings from this case series not only aid in accurate diagnosis and prognosis for our patients but also may provide potential targets for future therapeutic interventions.
Conclusions
This natural history case series also highlights the difficulty in differentiating genetic phenotype from the effects of DEE-SWAS.
