Clinical and Neurophysiologic Phenotypes in Neonates With <i>BRAT1</i> Encephalopathy Open
BRAT1 encephalopathy is a neonatal-onset, rapidly progressive neurologic disorder. Neonates are often misdiagnosed as having hyperekplexia, and many die undiagnosed. The key phenotypic features are multifocal myoclonus, an organized…
