Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is a spectrum of seizure disorders of varying severity. GEFS+ is usually diagnosed in families whose members have a combination of febrile seizures, which are triggered by a high fever, and recurrent seizures (epilepsy) of other types, including seizures that are not related to fevers (afebrile seizures). The additional seizure types usually involve both sides of the brain (generalized seizures); however, seizures that involve only one side of the brain (partial seizures) occur in some affected individuals. The most common types of seizure in people with GEFS+ include myoclonic seizures, which cause involuntary muscle twitches; atonic seizures, which involve sudden episodes of weak muscle tone; and absence seizures, which cause loss of consciousness for short periods that appear as staring spells.

Ceroid Lipofuscinoses
neurodegenerative disorders of childhood, with an incidence of about 1 in 25,000 births. Several subtypes of the disease are classified on the basis of age of onset, clinical features, biochemical analysis and detailed pathological examination of patient tissue with electron microscopy. NCLs are characterized by progressive motor and cognitive deterioration, seizures, early death, and often visual loss. NEURONAL CEROID LIPOFUSCINOSES
