This website provides information on patients with mutations in the STXBP1 gene, including clinical data, molecular data, management and research options.
The syndrome caused by mutations in the STXBP1 gene is a multisystem disorder characterized by seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability (ID) and movement disorders. Other possible features are feeding difficulties, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and severe speech delay.
Not all individuals with a mutation in the STXBP1 gene have these features.
