ABPE = Atypical Benign Partial Epilepsy; ECSWS, = Epileptic encephalopathy with Continuous Spike-and-Wave during Sleep; EME = Early Myoclonic Encephalopathy, EOEE = Early Onset Epileptic Encephalopathy; FIRES = Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome; IS = Infantile Spasms; LKS = Landau-Kleffner Syndrome; LGS = Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome; MAE = Myoclonic Atonic Epilepsy

Note that in 4 of the Dravet syndrome cases included here, SCN1A testing had not yet been undertaken.
