"Electro-clinical Syndromes" with onset in Paediatric Age. the highlights of the clinical-EEG, genetic and therapeutic advances [PDF]
The genetic causes underlying epilepsy remain largely unknown, and the impact of available genetic data on the nosology of epilepsy is still limited.

DNM1 encephalopathy: A new disease of vesicle fission. [PDF]
ObjectiveTo evaluate the phenotypic spectrum caused by mutations in dynamin 1 (DNM1), encoding the presynaptic protein DNM1, and to investigate possible genotype-phenotype correlations and predicted functional consequences based on structural modeling ...

Optimal management of seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis complex: current and emerging options. [PDF]
Seizures are clinically significant manifestations associated with 79%-90% of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex. Often occurring within the first year of life in the form of infantile spasms, seizures interfere with neuropsychiatric, social, and ...

Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome: A State of the Art Review. [PDF]
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe age-dependent epileptic encephalopathy usually with onset between 1 and 8 years of age. Functional neuroimaging studies recently introduced the concept of Lennox-Gastaut as "secondary network epilepsy" resulting ...

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.

Infantile spasms and developmental delay: A case of miller–Dieker syndrome
Background: Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a rare genetic disorder, due to contiguous gene deletion on chromosome 17p13.3, characterized by classical type I lissencephaly, severe developmental delay, seizures, cardiac defects, and dysmorphisms.
