In addition, a substantial number of genes are epileptic encephalopathy genes (STXBP1, SCN1A, SCN2A, SCN8A, GRIN2A, GRIN2B, HCN1, SLC6A1, KCNA2, EEF1A2, KCNB1 and SYNGAP1) and are related with mental retardation and epilepsy (IQSEC2 and MEF2C). This evidence concerns the gene SLC6A1 and Epileptic encephalopathy.
