Core Tip
Core Tip: Eleven types of familial temporal lobe epilepsy (FTLE) caused by single gene mutations or specific gene loci had been identified to date. The phenotype of FTLE was heterogenous and includes typical temporal lobe seizures and specific symptoms. We herein describe the etiology, inheritance, phenotype and prognosis of each type of FTLE and summarize their similarities and differences.
