Autism and mild epilepsy associated with a de novo missense pathogenic variant in the GTPase effector domain of DNM1

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

RARS1‐related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, 2023
Objective Biallelic variants of RARS1, a gene that encodes the cytoplasmic tRNA synthetase for arginine (ArgRS), are associated with central nervous system (CNS) manifestations, such as hypomyelinating leukodystrophy‐9 and developmental and epileptic ...

CHD2 variants are a risk factor for photosensitivity in epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Photosensitivity is a heritable abnormal cortical response to flickering light, manifesting as particular electroencephalographic changes, with or without seizures. Photosensitivity is prominent in a very rare epileptic encephalopathy due to de novo CHD2

Gene variations of glutamate metabolism pathway and epilepsy

open access: yesActa Epileptologica, 2022
Background Epilepsy is a paroxysmal disorder of the brain, caused by an imbalance of neuronal excitation and inhibition. Glutamate is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and plays an important role in epileptogenesis. Mutations in

Dynamic imaging of coherent sources reveals different network connectivity underlying the generation and perpetuation of epileptic seizures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The concept of focal epilepsies includes a seizure origin in brain regions with hyper synchronous activity (epileptogenic zone and seizure onset zone) and a complex epileptic network of different brain areas involved in the generation, propagation, and ...

Tubulinopathy Presenting as Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy

open access: yesChildren, 2022
Tubulin proteins play a role in the cortical development. Mutations in the tubulin genes affect patients with brain malformations. The present report describes two cases of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) due to tubulinopathy.

A rare case of Yhwag gene mutation causing developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

open access: yes, 2023
Background: epileptic encephalopathy 56 or DEE is a rare disease characterized by early-onset treatment-refractory epilepsy accompanied by global developmental regression that has been shown to be caused by various mutations of the YWHAG gene.

A heterozygous missense variant in the YWHAG gene causing developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 56 in a Chinese family

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2022
Background Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a heterogeneous group of severe disorders that are characterized by early-onset, refractory seizures and developmental slowing or regression.

De novo DYNC1H1 mutation causes infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with brain malformations

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2022
Background The human dynein cytoplasmic 1 heavy chain 1 (DYNC1H1) gene encodes a large subunit of the cytoplasmic dynein complex. DYNC1H1 mutations are associated with various neurological diseases involving both the peripheral and central nervous ...
