Trait
Epilepsia partialis continua
Epilepsia partialis continua (also called Kojevnikov's or Kozhevnikov's epilepsia) is a type of focal motor status epilepticus characterized by repeated stereotyped simple motor manifestations such as jerks, typically of a limb or the face, recurring every few seconds or minutes for extended periods (days or years).

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Epilepsia partialis continua is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.

|---|---|---|
| COQ8Acoenzyme Q8A | Always | In 1 condition |
| DNM1Ldynamin 1L | Always | In 1 condition |
| MRM2mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 2 | Always | In 1 condition |

How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
