Abstract

The 2q chromosome region encodes the cluster of sodium channel genes important in severe childhood epilepsy phenotypes. Our case examines the extent that 2q24.3-24.3 gene deletions contribute to our patient's complex medically refractory epilepsy and supports the use of fenfluramine and ketogenic diet as an effective treatment for these patients.
