Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

The prevalence and clinical features of MYO7A-related hearing loss including DFNA11, DFNB2 and USH1B

Scientific Reports
The MYO7A gene is known to be responsible for both syndromic hearing loss (Usher syndrome type1B:USH1B) and non-syndromic hearing loss including autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance (DFNA11, DFNB2).

Pseudodominant inheritance of autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness in one family with three co‐segregating deleterious GRM6 variants identified by next‐generation sequencing

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background The congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) affects the patients' dim light vision or dark adaption by impairing the normal function of retina. It is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder and can be inherited in an X‐linked,

A GENETIC STUDY OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY BASED ON CLINICAL AND GENEALOGICAL METHOD

Медична наука України, 2018
Relevance. Practically 10-15 % of the world's population has varicose veins as a manifestation of chronic venous insufficiency. The clinical and genealogical method is the method allows to identify family cases of disease in patients with chronic venous ...

Phenotype‐guided etiologic workup in a prospective cohort of 144 adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) often enter adult neurology care without etiologic clarification because of incomplete transition from pediatric services, outdated investigations, and attenuation of childhood electro‐clinical features over time.

Evidence for autosomal recessive inheritance in SPG3A caused by homozygosity for a novel ATL1 missense mutation

, 2014
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and weakness of the lower limbs. Autosomal dominant and 'pure' forms of HSP account for similar to 80% of cases in Western societies

Shared molecular pathways in pediatric genetic epilepsies: Insights from a single‐center cohort of 80 patients

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic epilepsies in childhood are highly heterogeneous, and approaches to identify shared biological mechanisms across distinct genetic etiologies remain limited. We aimed to investigate whether genes associated with pediatric genetic epilepsies in our heterogeneous cohort converge on common functional pathways.

Germline Cancer Predisposition and De Novo Contributions in Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Approximately 6%–8% of children and adolescents with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have an underlying cancer predisposition disorder (CPD), which varies between embryonal and alveolar subtypes and other clinical characteristics. Identifying a CPD remains challenging, as traditional approaches rely on clinical features and family history. Additionally,

Genetic Biomarkers in the Risk Assessment of Sudden Cardiac Events: A Personalized Approach

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetic insights into the risk assessment of sudden cardiac events. ABSTRACT Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional risk stratification methods, which largely depend on clinical history, imaging, and electrocardiography, are usually inadequate for identifying high‐risk individuals, especially those without visible ...
