Association of Time to Clinical Remission With Sustained Resolution in Children With New-Onset Infantile Spasms. [PDF]
Background and Objectives Standard therapies (adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH], oral steroids, or vigabatrin) fail to control infantile spasms in almost half of children. Early identification of nonresponders could enable rapid initiation of sequential

Genetic heterogeneity in infantile spasms [PDF]
Infantile spasms (IS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with heterogeneous etiologies including many genetic causes. Genetic studies have identified pathogenic variants in over 30 genes as causes of IS. Many of these genetic causes are extremely rare, with only one reported incidence in an individual with IS.

Targeted gut microbiota manipulation attenuates seizures in a model of infantile spasms syndrome. [PDF]
Infantile spasms syndrome (IS) is a devastating early-onset epileptic encephalopathy associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. When first-line treatment options, including adrenocorticotropic hormone and vigabatrin, are ineffective, the ketogenic
