*In targeted gene panels, ARX repeat expansions will be reported only in cases where the clinical symptoms of the patient include early-onset seizures.

**As the disorders are typically adult onset, repeat expansions in these genes are not reported in minors in comprehensive analyses.

§ As the gene-disease association is mediated exclusively by repeat expansions, only repeat expansions are reported for this gene.
