Excerpt

Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS), a contiguous-gene-deletion disorder, is caused by 1.5–1.8 Mb heterozygous deletion of chromosome 7q11.23. Epilepsy has been rarely reported with the standard deletion, whereas larger deletions with telomeric extension can have severe cognitive delay and severe epilepsy including infantile spasms (IS). Recently, Nicita et al. reported epilepsy as a possible feature in association with typical deletion; however, less than ten cases of IS have been reported with the smaller typical deletion of WBS and there is a dearth of literature on critical review of these cases [1]. …
