A neonate with X-linked lissencephaly with ambiguous genitalia
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
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.

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
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.

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 ...

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]
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.
