A host of additional comorbidities also contribute to the phenotypic spectrum. As a result of the recent identification of the genetic etiology and the length of time it often takes to diagnose patients, little data are available on the natural history of these conditions. The International SCN8A Patient Registry was developed in 2015 to fill gaps in understanding the spectrum of the disease and its natural history, as well as the lived experiences of individuals with SCN8A syndrome. Another goal of the registry is to collect longitudinal data from participants on a regular basis.

Until the end of its second period, it operated as a pathology-based registry and all staff worked part time. Currently, the NCRP is based on passive reporting through a Web-based system set up for both public and private health institutions, covering 77% of the existing health-care institutions in the nation. The number of cases with unknown age were less than 10 per year and primary tumors with unknown origin were at most 3%. The proportion of death certificate only (DCO) cases decreased 5% in 18 years.
