To characterize the features associated with PCDH19-related epilepsy, also known as “female-limited epilepsy.” We analyzed data from participants enrolled in the PCDH19 Registry, focusing on the seizure-related, developmental, neurobehavioral, and sleep-related features. We evaluated variants for pathogenicity based on previous reports, population databases, and in silico predictions, and included individuals with pathogenic or potentially pathogenic variants. We performed a retrospective analysis of medical records and administered a targeted questionnaire to characterize current or past features in probands and genotype-positive family members. We included 38 individuals with pathogenic or potentially pathogenic variants in PCDH19: 21 de novo, 5 maternally inherited, 7 paternally inherited, and 5 unknown. All 38 had epilepsy; seizure burden varied, but typical features of clustering of seizures and association with fever were present. Thirty individuals had intellectual disability (ID), with a wide range of severity reported; notably, 8/38 (22%) had average intellect. Behavioral and sleep dysregulation were prominent, in 29/38 (76%) and 20/38 (53%), respectively. Autistic features were present in 22/38 (58%), of whom 12 had a formal diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We had additional data from 5 genotype-positive mothers, all with average intellect and 3 with epilepsy and from 1 genotype-positive father.
