This study aims to examine the consequences and pathogenicity of a novel homozygous splice site variant in BRAT1 in a patient presenting with migrating focal seizures since birth without prominent rigidity. RMFSL was first described in 2012; later, BRAT1 variants were also reported in patients with non-lethal milder clinical forms, including neurodevelopmental disorder with cerebellar atrophy and with or without seizures (NEDCAS, 618056), epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS), and congenital ataxia (CA) [7] [8] [9] [10] . ./cache/cord-013139-b32xg7y7.txt ./txt/cord-013139-b32xg7y7.txt
