Epilepsy due to malformations of cortical development with genetic determinants – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/122012311

Epilepsy due to genetically determined conditions in which epilepsy is the only or the predominant phenotype. Susceptibility to develop epilepsy does not necessarily correlate with the severity of structural abnormalities or with the extent of the genetic defect. Pre-requisite for inclusion is the detection of cortical malformation by neuroimaging tests.
