Pleiotropy of polygenic factors associated with focal and generalized epilepsy in the general population.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Epilepsy is clinically heterogeneous, and neurological or psychiatric comorbidities are frequently observed in patients. It has not been tested whether common risk variants for generalized or focal epilepsy are enriched in people with other disorders or ...

Genetic analysis of human absence epilepsy

open access: yes, 2010
Idiopathic Mendelian epilepsies have been typically identified as channelopathies. Evidence suggests that mutations in genes encoding GABAA receptors, GABAB receptors or voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) may underlie childhood absence epilepsy ...

Targeting the PDK1/c‐Myc/SOX10 Signaling in Oligodendrocytes Alleviates Neuropathic Pain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reveals that oligodendrocyte homeostasis, mediated by PDK1, is a critical determinant of neuropathic pain (NPP) pathogenesis. Disruption of PDK1 in oligodendrocytes impairs SOX10‐dependent myelination programs through c‐Myc accumulation, leading to disrupted myelination and the pathophysiology of NPP.

Asynchronous suppression of visual cortex during absence seizures in stargazer mice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Absence epilepsy is associated with frequent generalized spike-wave seizures and loss of awareness. Here the authors use 2-photon calcium imaging of primary visual cortex in a genetic mouse model of absence epilepsy and find that cortical neurons are ...

Importance of Genetic Testing in Children With Generalized Epilepsy

open access: yesCureus
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by the predisposition for recurrent unprovoked seizures. It can broadly be classified as focal, generalized, unclassified, and unknown in its onset. Focal epilepsy originates in and involves networks localized to one region of the brain. Generalized epilepsy engages broader, more diffuse networks.

Enhanced Glycolysis‐Driven Histone H3K18 Lactylation Regulates Epileptogenesis by Modulating the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase COP1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuronal PKM2‐driven glycolysis generates excess lactate that triggers histone H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la), establishing a pathogenic metabolic‐epigenetic axis in epilepsy. Elevated H3K18la enriches the Cop1 promoter, transcriptionally upregulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, which subsequently drives proteasomal degradation of GABAARβ2 and impairs ...

Management and outcomes among older adults with generalized epilepsy in routine clinical practice

open access: yesEpilepsia Open
Generalized epilepsy is classically thought of as a disease of the young and adolescent, with rarely reported cases among older adults. We aimed to analyze management and outcomes in a population sparsely described in the literature through a ...

Association mapping of genomic microdeletions and common susceptibility variants predisposing to genetic generalized epilepsies

open access: yes, 2013
Approximately 3% of the general population is affected by epilepsy during lifetime, making epilepsy one of the most common neurological diseases. Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE) are the most common of genetic epilepsies and account for 20-30% of ...
