FARS2 mutation and epilepsy: possible link with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy

Highlights • We report 4 new cases of FARS2 mutation presenting with infantile-onset epilepsy. • Epilepsy phenotypes of 6 other reported FARS2 mutation-positive cases are reviewed. • FARS2 may be one of the genetic causes of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy.
