A natural marmoset model of genetic generalized epilepsy [PDF]
Epilepsy has been extensively studied as a common neurological disease. Efforts have been made on rodent and other animal models to reveal the pathogenic mechanisms of epilepsy and develop new drugs for treatment.

Genetic generalized epilepsy and generalized onset seizures with focal evolution (GOFE) [PDF]
“Generalized Onset with Focal Evolution” (GOFE) is an underrecognized seizure type defined by an evolution from generalized onset to focal activity during the same ictal event. We aimed to discuss electroclinical aspects of GOFE and to emphasize its link

EEG in genetic generalized epilepsies
Genetic, or idiopathic, generalized epilepsies (GGEs or IGEs) includes childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures alone (GTCS-a).Aim.

Electroencephalography in the Diagnosis of Genetic Generalized Epilepsy Syndromes. [PDF]
Genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) consists of several syndromes diagnosed and classified on the basis of clinical features and electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities. The main EEG feature of GGE is bilateral, synchronous, symmetric, and generalized spike-wave complex.

Genetic generalized epilepsies [PDF]
SummaryThe genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) are mainly genetically determined disorders. Although inheritance in most cases appears to be complex, involving multiple genes, variants of a number of genes are known to contribute. Pathogenic variants of SLC2A1 leading to autosomal‐dominant GLUT1 deficiency account for up to 1% of cases, increasing to

A Novel null homozygous mutation confirms CACNA2D2 as a gene mutated in epileptic encephalopathy [PDF]
Contribution to epileptic encephalopathy (EE) of mutations in CACNA2D2, encoding α2δ-2 subunit of Voltage Dependent Calcium Channels, is unclear. To date only one CACNA2D2 mutation altering channel functionality has been identified in a single family. In
