        The development of molecular studies has allowed identifying the genetic cause of various diseases such as infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Several pathogenic variants of different genes have  been implicated including the STXBP1   gene. STXBP1 encephalopathy with epilepsy is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with disrupted liberation of regulatory mechanisms of neurotransmitters in the synaptic vesicles associated with neurodevelopmental impairments.   This condition is characterized by early onset with seizures in the first two months of life. Affected patients may have  eating problems, movement disorders and autism spectrum disorders. Herein we present a case of a Colombian infant with STXBP1 encephalopathy with epilepsy. We describe the clinical aspects of the disease to sensitize health care professionals for them to identify this condition and achieve an early diagnosis. This is the first publication in Colombia on a patient featuring this type of etiology.
