@nicolevasilevsky Please see my comments in line.
There are a few parentage that I disagree with or that I don't understand.

Based on this definition, this term should be a child of "idiopathic generalized epilepsy", which it currently doesn't have.

I added this parent.

I have some questions about this relationship, but I'll bring it up at the workshop on Friday

BAsed on the definition, shouldn't this term also be a "focal epilepsy"?

I added this parent but I would like to discuss this further at the workshop.

But thinking about this- it makes sense because we have:
epilepsy
-epilepsy syndrome

so it makes sense to have:
-more specific epilepsy
--more specific epilepsy syndrome

eg

-focal epilepsy
--variable-age focal epilepsy syndrome

I created a slide about this to the workshop so we can discuss further and reassure ourselves

[Term]
id: MONDO:0800493
name: familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
def: "A focal epilepsy syndrome where the age at onset is typically in adolescence or adulthood. Affected individuals have focal aware seizures with mesial temporal lobe features, especially prominent déjà vu. Most patients have a normal MRI, and seizures respond to treatment. A subgroup is recognised that have antecedent febrile seizures, hippocampal atrophy, and drug resistant seizures. Direct questioning of relatives may be required to identify this familial epilepsy syndrome, as many individuals consider their déjà vu experiences as mild and they may not have been diagnosed as seizures."

if the definition is "a focal epilepsy syndrome where (...)", then "focal epilepsy syndrome" must be a parent.

we don't have a term called 'focal epilepsy syndrome' but I added 'focal epilepsy' as a parent

I don't like the "and/or", but I guess this is what people call it. So that's ok

based on the name and the definition, it seems weird to exclude this parent.
What is the reasoning behind this?

we are going to obsolete this term (see #8468)

I am questioning the synonym scope. Why is it "broad"?
(note, I don't know anything about epilepsy :-) )

it was broad before, I just added the xref (from what it looks like). But this term is equiv to DOID:0050706, so I think the synonym should be exact - I updated that.

But in the workshop, we decided to obsolete the term 'electroclinical syndrome' (see #8450 and see #8561).

What I think should be done here is to create a new term called 'variable age onset epilepsy syndrome' that is distinct from this class. And we should obsolete this this class, per the decision to obsolete the electroclinical syndrome terms.

I think we should keep this parent. It is more high-level, but it was requested by a ClinGen expert panel, so it is good to keep even if it is redundant.

The term is 'juvenile absence epilepsy'. It seems weird to exclude the "absence epilepsy" parent. Also, the definition includes "absence seizure". What is the rational?

@nicolevasilevsky I just saw (and approved and merged) the PR about obsoleting "absence epilepsy".
Some of my comments/requests are therefore mute. Please ignore them.

I think it is ok.
I am approving and merging. There are still some changes that might be done after more experts feedback, but it is ok for not.
