ObjectiveThe study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of epilepsy patients with DEPDC5 mutation, and to improve the understanding of familial hereditary focal epilepsy.MethodsThree families with familial hereditary focal epilepsy were enrolled in this study from September 2014 to September 2017 at the Sanjiu Brain Hospital of Guangdong Province. Epilepsy-related gene in peripheral blood was detected by the second generation sequencing. The medical history, family history, magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalo-groph, treatment programs and other data were collected and aralyzed.ResultsThere were 8 patients in the three families, seizures of whom originate mostly from the frontal or temporal lobe. Cognitive function and other system function was basically normal fron patients treated with antiepilepsy drugs.ConclusionsThe mutations of DEPDC5 gene are common in familial hereditary focal epilepsy, which leads to the main clinical symptom of complex partial seizure. Antiepilepsy drug therapy is effective to most patients. However, to those drug resistant patients, prognosis can improved by surgical treatment.
