Prolonged neurologic deficits with brain MRI changes following ECT in an adolescent with a CACNA1a-related disorder; a case report

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2022
Background Electroconvulsive therapy is used to treat depression and schizophrenia with infrequent use in pediatric patients. We report a case of an adolescent with autism spectrum disorder and acute catatonia that presented with status epilepticus (SE ...

First Report of Uniparental Isodisomy of Chromosome 15 Revealing Angelman Syndrome and Microphthalmia Associated With a Novel Homozygous ALDH1A3 Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paternal isodisomy of chromosome 15 (iUPD15) is a recognized cause of Angelman syndrome (AS), accounting for approximately 2%–5% of cases. Additionally, another recognized consequence of iUPD is the unmasking of autosomal recessive disorders. However, reports of recessive disorders resulting from iUPD15 remain scarce in the literature.

Large-Scale Functional RNAi Screen in Identifies TGF-β and Notch Signaling Pathways as Modifiers of

open access: yesASN Neuro, 2016
Variants in CACNA1A that encodes the pore-forming α 1 -subunit of human voltage-gated Cav2.1 (P/Q-type) Ca 2+ channels cause several autosomal-dominant neurologic disorders, including familial hemiplegic migraine type 1, episodic ataxia type 2, and ...

Animal stroke models and outcome evaluation: A review

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rodents are the preeminent stroke model species. Large animal models exist too, but are poorly standardized. Ischemic and hemorrhagic experimental models are available, with the intraluminal filament model being predominant. Outcomes are evaluated via quantifying subjects' sensorimotor impairment, cognitive memory faculties, degree of cellular ...

Adrenergic receptor activation triggers stress-induced dystonia in a CACNA1A mutant mouse model

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in CACNA1A, resulting in P/Q-type Ca2+ channel dysfunction in cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) causing ataxia and stress-induced dystonia.

Refining the electroclinical phenotype of 15q11.2 microdeletion: EEG biomarker overlap with Angelman syndrome

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The 15q11.2 microdeletion is a chromosomal condition associated with a broad epileptic phenotype. It is differentiated from Angelman syndrome, which is typically a larger maternal deletion in an overlapping area. We describe a patient with a 15q11.2 microdeletion that has clinical and EEG biomarker features similar to those seen in Angelman ...

Efficacy of fenfluramine in a pediatric epilepsy patient with a pathogenic SV2A variant: A case report

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...

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.

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.

Cerebellar α1D- adrenergic receptors mediate stress-induced dystonia in totteringtg/tg mice

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is an inherited neurological disorder, where patients suffer from chronic ataxia and severe episodes of motor dysfunction exhibited as dystonia.
