Epilepsy‐associated SCN2A‐L1342P mutation drives network hyperexcitability and widespread transcriptomic changes in human cortical organoids

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective SCN2A pathogenic mutations, such as the recurrent heterozygous Nav1.2‐L1342P, are monogenic causes of epilepsy. In this human‐induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model system, we aim to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SCN2A‐L1342P‐associated pathology. Methods Using a human male induced pluripotent stem

Expanding the Phenotype of CYFIP2‐Related Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy: Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society
Background Pathogenic CYFIP2 variants cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), characterized by early‐onset intractable epilepsy and developmental delay. The disease course has not been delineated.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

First‐choice hormonal therapies for children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome in South Asia: A network meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

open access: yesEpilepsia Open
Considering the peculiar challenges with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) in South Asia and a wide variation in the usage of hormonal therapies, we compared the efficacy and safety of various hormonal therapies for children with IESS in South ...

Comparative multicenter evaluation of thalamic neuromodulation for treatment‐resistant epilepsy in children

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Use of neuromodulation strategies targeting thalamic nuclei, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS), for treatment of pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) is increasing, despite limited evidence for efficacy and safety. We present the initial results from the Comparative Multicenter Evaluation

Refining diagnostic boundaries and electroclinical profiles of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome through unsupervised clustering

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy defined by polymorphic seizures, intellectual disability (ID), and characteristic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns. The applicability and biological validity of current electroclinical criteria remain debated.

EEG‐based spatiotemporal dynamics of fast ripple networks and hubs in infantile epileptic spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia Open
Objective Infantile epileptic spasms (IS) are epileptic seizures that are associated with increased risk for developmental impairments, adult epilepsies, and mortality.

Developmental pathways to autism in tuberous sclerosis complex: Evidence from a longitudinal cohort

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The association between autism spectrum disorder (hereafter referred to as autism) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is well established, yet the developmental pathways linking genetic mutation, cortical pathology, and epilepsy with autism remain unclear. The Tuberous Sclerosis 2000 Study recruited children newly diagnosed with TSC (N = 125)

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

Epilepsy syndromes classification

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.
