The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Frequency of anti‐neural antibodies and autoimmune epilepsy in focal epilepsy of unknown etiology: An observational study in a Singaporean cohort

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Autoimmune epilepsy (AES) is increasingly recognized as a condition in patients with epilepsy of unknown etiology. Early immunotherapy improves outcomes; however, data on its prevalence and the frequency of anti‐neural/neuronal antibodies in Asian populations remain scarce.

Identification of a novel nonsense mutation p.Tyr1957Ter of CACNA1A in a Chinese family with episodic ataxia 2.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Type 2 episodic ataxia (EA2) is the most common subtype among a group of rare hereditary syndromes characterized by recurrent attacks of ataxia. More than 60 mutations and several gene rearrangements due to large deletions in CACNA1A gene have been ...

A CaV2.1 N-terminal fragment relieves the dominant-negative inhibition by an Episodic ataxia 2 mutant

Neurobiology of Disease, 2016
Episodic ataxia 2 (EA2) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the gene CACNA1A that encodes the pore-forming CaV2.1 calcium channel subunit.

Movement Disorders in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Monogenic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) frequently feature co‐occurring movement disorders. Gene discovery has expanded epilepsy‐dyskinesia syndromes (EDS) from classic associations such as stereotypies in Rett syndrome to PRRT2‐related infantile seizures with paroxysmal dyskinesia and crouched gait in SCN1A ...

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

NKX2‐1 Downstream Regulatory Structural Variants Explain a Substantial Proportion of Molecular Diagnoses in Patients With Benign Hereditary Chorea

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background NKX2‐1–related disorders (NKX2‐1‐RDs) classically present with a triad of neurological, endocrine, and pulmonary manifestations, including benign hereditary chorea. However, in a fraction of patients, NKX2‐1 coding variants are not detected, and variants outside the NKX2‐1 locus have been reported.
