Pallister—Killian syndrome: an unusual cause of epileptic spasms [PDF]

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2005
Pallister‐Killian syndrome (PKS) is a rare, sporadic, genetic disorder characterized by dysmorphic features, learning disability *, and epilepsy. It is caused by a mosaic supernumerary isochromosome 12p (i[12p]). The i(12p) is rarely found in peripheral blood but it is present in skin fibroblasts. Recognition is essential for cytogenetic diagnosis.

A Comprehensive Overview of the Clinical, Electrophysiological, and Neuroimaging Features of BPAN: Insights From a New Case Series

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) comprises a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare neurological disorders characterized particularly by iron accumulation in the basal ganglia. To date, 15 genes have been associated with NBIA.

NEAT1 Promotes Epileptogenesis in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The primary neurological manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) are intractable epilepsy and intellectual disability. NEAT1 is differentially expressed in TSC‐related epilepsy and influences neuronal excitability by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

In Vivo Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Changes After N-Methyl-d-Aspartate-Triggered Spasms in Infant Rats

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
ObjectiveDespite the serious neurodevelopmental sequelae of epileptic encephalopathy during infancy, the pathomechanisms involved remain unclear. To find potential biomarkers that can reflect the pathogenesis of epileptic encephalopathy, we explored the ...

Trisomy 5p: Long Recognized, Rarely Published‐ Three New Cases and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complete trisomy 5p is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by a duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5. Current data suggest that complete trisomy 5p presents as a distinct clinical syndrome including but not limited to seizures, developmental delays, facial dysmorphisms, failure to thrive, and recurrent respiratory infections.

Identification of a Second‐Hit Brain Somatic DEPDC5 Variant Supports Causality of a DEPDC5 Germline Variant of Uncertain Significance. Time for a Classification Update?

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germline variants in DEPDC5 are a cause of familial focal epilepsy with variable foci. Affected individuals may have focal cortical dysplasia if a second brain somatic variant occurs. As access to brain tissue is limited, the second somatic hit in the brain is usually presumed if a clear pathogenic germline variant is present. Here, we present

IGF-1 impacts neocortical interneuron connectivity in epileptic spasm generation and resolution

Neurotherapeutics
Little is known about the mechanisms that generate epileptic spasms following perinatal brain injury. Recent studies have implicated reduced levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) in these patients’ brains.
