A neonate with X-linked lissencephaly with ambiguous genitalia

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2017
X-linked lissencephaly with ambiguous genitalia is a rare and recently described syndrome. We report a neonate presenting with the classical features of the syndrome which includes lissencephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, intractable epilepsy of ...

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Effectiveness and safety of cannabidiol in adult patients with epilepsy: A multicenter, retrospective study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cannabidiol (CBD) has demonstrated promising effectiveness and tolerability as adjunctive treatment in patients with severe childhood epilepsies. This study investigated the effectiveness and tolerability of CBD in adults with a history of Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC ...

Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Central Nervous System Abnormalities

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study demonstrates the central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities detected using fetal post‐mortem micro‐focus computed tomography (Micro‐CT), independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death.

Quantitative MRI Assessment of Gyrification and Brain Volume in Congenital Cytomegalovirus Fetuses and Postnatal Outcome

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Quantitative assessment of the impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on fetal brain development beyond conventional imaging remains limited. We aimed to quantify cortical gyrification and brain volumes in CMV‐exposed fetuses, compare groups with varying severities of conventional MRI findings, and evaluate postnatal outcomes ...

From Isolated to Complex: Diagnostic Yield of Chromosomal Microarray and Exome Sequencing in Fetal Growth Restriction

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the overall diagnostic yield of sequential chromosomal microarray (CMA) and exome sequencing (ES) across the phenotypic spectrum of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Methods A retrospective cohort of 320 consecutive FGR pregnancies presenting at ≥ 20 weeks to a tertiary fetal medicine unit (2020–2025).

Nonprimary Cytomegalovirus Fetal Infection [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2016
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital viral infection, causing hearing, visual and psychomotor impairment. Preexisting maternal CMV immunity substantially reduces, but not eliminates, the risk of fetal infection and affectation.
