Background: Autosomal dominant mutations of the gene can cause two epileptic disorders: benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS) and developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). This systematic review aims to identify the best reported therapy for these patients, relating to phenotype, neurodevelopmental outcome, and an eventual correlation between phenotype and genotype.

Methods: We searched on PubMed using the search terms "" AND "therapy" and "" AND "treatment"; we found 304 articles.
