A genomic copy number variant analysis implicates the MBD5 and HNRNPU genes in Chinese children with infantile spasms and expands the clinical spectrum of 2q23.1 deletion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Infantile spasms (IS) is a specific type of epileptic encephalopathy associated with severe developmental disabilities. Genetic factors are strongly implicated in IS, however, the exact genetic defects remain unknown in the majority of cases.

Effect of stereo‐EEG versus subdural EEG on functional and seizure outcome in pediatric and adult epilepsy surgery: A 21‐year single‐center experience

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 586-599, August 2025.
Abstract Objective (1) To compare use, benefits, and complications of stereo‐EEG (SEEG) and subdural EEG (SD) in presurgical epilepsy candidates. (2) To evaluate the effectiveness of both methods in delineation of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) and guiding tailored resective surgery. Methods We included patients with SEEG or SD evaluations in children and

GABRB3 mutations: a new and emerging cause of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor β3 gene (GABRB3) encodes the β3-subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA ) receptor, which mediates inhibitory signalling within the central nervous system.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent models of pediatric acquired epilepsy: A report of the TASK3‐WG1B, Pediatric and Genetic Models Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue S1, Page S53-S86, August 2025.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes during the early years of life may be attributed to an acquired insult, such as hypoxic–ischemic injury, infection, status epilepticus, or brain trauma. These conditions are frequently modeled in experimental rodents to delineate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and investigate novel therapeutic strategies.

Neurological Disease Syndrome Caused by a STAG1 Gene Variant: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, Volume 85, Issue 5, August 2025.
We present a case of a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with a mutation in the STAG1 gene, aiming to raise awareness of this type of disorder. ABSTRACT Background The cohesin complex is a multifunctional unit that plays a crucial role in DNA repair, replication, chromosome segregation, and gene expression.

Aetiopathogenesis of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome and mechanisms of action of adrenocorticotrophin hormone/corticosteroids in children: A scoping review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1004-1025, August 2025.
Why does infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) occur with a variety of underlying conditions and why does it respond to adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH)/corticosteroids? Our scoping review summarizes five hypotheses from the literature: gene/epigenetic regulation, stress/HPA axis activation, neuroinflammation/immune function, altered neuronal ...
