GDH mutations in a Myoclonic Absence Epilepsy

This paper by Bahi-Buisson et al. describes a family with Myoclonic Absence Epilepsy with Photosensitivity and the hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome and mutations in the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) gene.

Is this IGE-like phenotype a metabolic disorder rather than a channelopathy?
