These conditions, characterized by muscle weakness, also manifest central nervous system (CNS) comorbidities due to dystrophin expression in the CNS. Prior studies have indicated a higher prevalence of epilepsy in individuals with dystrophinopathy compared to the general population. Our research aimed to investigate epilepsy prevalence in dystrophinopathies and characterize associated electroencephalograms (EEGs) and seizures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We reviewed 416 individuals with dystrophinopathy, followed up at three centers between 2010 and 2023, to investigate the lifetime epilepsy prevalence and characterize EEGs and seizures in those individuals diagnosed with epilepsy. Associations between epilepsy and type of dystrophinopathy, genotype, and cognitive involvement were studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study revealed a higher epilepsy prevalence than the general population (1.4%; 95% confidence interval: 0.7\u20133.2%), but notably lower than previously reported in smaller dystrophinopathy cohorts. No significant differences were found in epilepsy prevalence between DMD and BMD or based on underlying genotypes. Cognitive impairment was not found to be linked to higher epilepsy rates. The most prevalent epilepsy types in dystrophinopathies resembled those observed in the broader pediatric population, with most individuals effectively controlled through monotherapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title><jats:p>The actual epilepsy prevalence in dystrophinopathies may be markedly lower than previously estimated, possibly half or even less.
