Abstract
TBC1D24 mutation-related epileptic syndrome includes a wide spectrum of epilepsies. We describe a case with a homozygous TBC1D24 mutation inherited from consanguineous parents. The patient manifested epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) and rare secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizure without intellectual disability or developmental delay. EPC, which involved focal limbs, came with waking and went with sleep. The genetic analysis reported a novel mutation in the TBC1D24 gene, c.229_240del (p.82_84del). The homozygous mutation was inherited from her healthy parents who were heterozygous. Morphometric analysis program (MAP), an MRI post-processing technique, was used and detected a subtle abnormality of the brain. A comprehensive analysis based on semiology, electroencephalogram, somatosensory-evoked potential, and MAP suggested a potential focal structural abnormality. This case indicates a possible correlation between the TBC1D24 mutation and brain development abnormality.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 January 2018.
All research outputs
#20,461,148
of 23,018,998 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#8,932
of 11,914 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#378,352
of 441,261 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#158
of 223 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,018,998 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,914 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 441,261 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 223 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
