Case Analysis of Epilepsy, Neurodevelopmental Disorder, and Motor Disorders Associated with Mutations in the Dehydrodolichyl Diphosphate Synthase Gene

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent and disabling chronic neurological diseases worldwide. Each year, 125,000 out of 60 million patients all over the world die due to epilepsy [1]. It is characterized by abnormal electrical activity leading to seizures or abnormal behavior and sensation, and sometimes loss of consciousness. It can lead to a series of neurological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences. Epilepsy accounts for a large proportion of the deaths caused by diseases, as the risk of premature death in patients with epilepsy is three times higher than that of the general population [2].
