Low diagnostic yield of presurgical genetic testing in adult patients with epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for epilepsy. Methods We conducted a cohort study including 115 adult patients who underwent presurgical evaluation in the Calgary Epilepsy Program between 2019 and 2023 and who had undergone research exome sequencing.

A translational multimodal machine‐learning prototype predicting valproate response in epilepsy treatment

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects ~1% of the global population and often requires lifelong antiseizure medication (ASM) therapy. Valproic acid (VPA) is a commonly prescribed first‐line ASM, yet only approximately half of patients achieve sustained seizure freedom. Treatment selection remains largely empirical.

Long‐term prognosis of pharmacotherapy in newly diagnosed focal epilepsy patients and the predictive value of baseline seizure timing: A prospective cohort study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a highly heterogeneous neurological disorder with significant prognostic variability. Accurate long‐term outcome prediction remains a clinical challenge. We investigated pharmacotherapeutic prognosis and key predictors, particularly baseline seizure timing, to guide individualized treatment.

Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.
