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]
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.

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

West syndrome: long-term outcomes depending on etiology and treatment (literature review)
West syndrome is a severe form of childhood epilepsy associated with drug-resistant seizures and intellectual disability. The disease is characterized by specific seizures called infantile spasms, hypsarrhythmia on the electroencephalogram, and delayed ...

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

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.

Infantile spasms: hypothesis-driven therapy and pilot human infant experiments using corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonists. [PDF]
Background and rationaleInfantile spasms (IS) are an age-specific seizure disorder occurring in 1:2,000 infants and associated with mental retardation in approximately 90% of affected individuals. The costs of IS in terms of loss of lifetime productivity

Abstract Objective To investigate the efficacy and tolerability of perampanel (PER) on Dravet syndrome in China by a prospective real‐world study. Methods We prospectively enrolled children with Dravet syndrome from the neurology clinic of Shenzhen Children's Hospital from September 2020 to October 2021.

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

The acrocallosal syndrome: A case report and literature survey [PDF]
Acrocallosal syndrome (ACS) is a rare, genetically transmitted disorder characterized by facial deformities. These include a large forehead, large anterior fontanelle, broad nasal bridge with increased intercanthal distance, partial or complete agenesis ...

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 ...
