Management

A genetic diagnosis may assist in tracking and predicting the course of ARHGEF9 syndrome. Specialists may be important for the management of aspects of the syndrome. If seizures occur it is important to consult a neurologist to determine the best course to treat the seizures or epilepsy. ARHGEF9 has been associated with varying subtypes of seizures and epilepsy. EEG may be useful in further understanding the seizures and epilepsy, as well as sleep abnormalities. Patients may also require physical, occupational, speech, or behavioral therapy, with early intervention being the most impactful.
