Solute carrier transporter disease and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy
The International League Against Epilepsy officially revised its classification in 2017, which amended “epileptic encephalopathy” to “developmental and epileptic encephalopathy”. With the development of genetic testing technology, an increasing number of

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

Frequently Identified Genetic Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy: A Review Focusing on Precision Medicine [PDF]
In this article, we reviewed current knowledge regarding gene-specific therapies for some developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by genes with high diagnostic yields, and which are therefore, also more frequently encountered by physicians ...

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

Clinical Assessments and EEG Analyses of Encephalopathies Associated With Dynamin-1 Mutation
Epileptic encephalopathy, caused by mutations in the dynamin-1 (DNM1; NM_004408) gene, is a newly identified neurologic disorder in children. Thus far, the full clinical and electroencephalographic features of children with DNM1 mutation-related ...

Pyridoxine‐responsive KCNQ2 epileptic encephalopathy: Additional cases and literature review
Background Typical patients with KCNQ2 (OMIM# 602235) epileptic encephalopathy present early neonatal‐onset intractable seizures with a burst suppression EEG pattern and severe developmental delay or regression, and those patients always fail first‐line ...

Dravet syndrome as epileptic encephalopathy: Evidence from long-term course and neuropathology [PDF]
Dravet syndrome is an epilepsy syndrome of infantile onset, frequently caused by SCN1A mutations or deletions. Its prevalence, long-term evolution in adults and neuropathology are not well known.
