Genetic testing for familial epilepsies: Diagnostic yield and genetic findings

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic testing has become a routine part of clinical epilepsy care. Family history is an indication for genetic testing, but the diagnostic yield, predictors of a genetic diagnosis, and association with familial patterns are not well understood.

Chromosomal Microarray Analysis versus Karyotyping in Fetuses with Increased Nuchal Translucency

Medical Sciences, 2019
We have carried out a retrospective study of chromosome anomalies associated with increased nuchal translucency (NT) in order to compare yield rates of karyotype, chromosome microarray analysis (CMA), and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in this ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

MACAT—microarray chromosome analysis tool

, 2005
By linking differential gene expression to the chromosomal localization of genes, one can investigate microarray data for characteristic patterns of expression phenomena involving sizeable parts of specific chromosomes. We have implemented a statistical approach for identifying significantly differentially expressed chromosome regions.

Neonatal seizures: Advances in diagnosis and management

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created the ILAE Neonatal Task Force that classified neonatal seizures, defined neonatal epilepsy syndromes, and specified treatment guidelines. These frameworks, in addition to improved access to genetic testing and other recent advances, have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of ...

Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...

A Novel Fetal Intracranial Measurement Contributing to the Differential Diagnosis of Fetal Microcephaly

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate the value of the thickness of the frontal lobe (TFL) and foramen magnum‐to‐cranium distance (FCD) for predicting poor neurodevelopmental outcomes in fetuses with a small head circumference (HC). Methods This retrospective observational study included 39 fetuses with HC < −2 standard deviations (SD) and 592 prospectively collected

Case Report: developmental delay and intellectual disability linked to a maternally inherited derivative chromosome 3 from a t(3;8) translocation

Frontiers in Genetics
Chromosomes 3 and 8 harbor genes essential for neurodevelopment, skeletal formation, and metabolic regulation. We report a case of two half-siblings with neurodevelopmental delay and intellectual disability who inherited a derivative chromosome 3 from ...
