If classified according to syndromes, the analysis of this cohort identified nine cases presenting as infantile spasms distributed in the three mutation types, and two cases were presenting as Ohtahara syndrome with ALDH7A1 and PNPO mutations, respectively. The gene discussed is ALDH7A1; the disease is infantile spasms.
