Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Abstract Guanidinoacetate N‐methyltransferase deficiency is an inborn error of creatine metabolism, responsible for the absent conversion of guanidinoacetic acid into creatine, resulting in cerebral creatine deficit. It could present a variety of symptoms such as neurodevelopmental delay, epilepsy, movement disorder (ataxia, dystonia, and chorea), and ...

Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy [PDF]
Aim: The molecular mechanism of epileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy is still unclear. Experimental studies have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases have important roles in this process, but human studies are limited.

Epilepsy in children with a history of febrile seizures
Purpose Febrile seizure, the most common type of pediatric convulsive disorder, is a benign seizure syndrome distinct from epilepsy. However, as epilepsy is also common during childhood, we aimed to identify the prognostic factors that can predict ...

Neuronal surface and intracellular antibody testing in patients with long‐term epilepsy
Abstract Objective We aimed to investigate the frequency of neuronal surface and intracellular antibodies in individuals with long‐term epilepsy and the associated clinical and laboratory characteristics. Methods We tested sera from 223 patients with epilepsy without signs of autoimmune encephalitis and 12 patients with epilepsy and a subacute onset of

Abstract Epilepsy represents a significant medical challenge, with a third of patients failing to achieve seizure freedom despite the use of multiple different anti‐seizure medications (ASM). Drug resistance is common in genetically caused epilepsies. Patients are faced with repeated, long‐lasting, and frequently frustrating drug testing, necessitating
