Genetic testing among patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery
Abstract Objective Genetic testing performed to identify the underlying etiology of epilepsy has become increasingly common and is now being recommended as part of the presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery. This study aimed to characterize the types of genetic tests performed in patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery and assess how genetic ...

WONOEP appraisal: Biomarkers and treatment strategies beyond the synapse
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurological disorder affecting more than 70 million people worldwide, posing significant challenges for clinicians due to its complex etiology, diverse manifestations, variable treatment responses, and the inability to predict seizures or disease onset reliably.

Developmental pathways to autism in tuberous sclerosis complex: Evidence from a longitudinal cohort
Abstract The association between autism spectrum disorder (hereafter referred to as autism) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is well established, yet the developmental pathways linking genetic mutation, cortical pathology, and epilepsy with autism remain unclear. The Tuberous Sclerosis 2000 Study recruited children newly diagnosed with TSC (N = 125)

Abnormal KCC2 expression and function in a mouse model of epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis complex
Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy is a common, severe manifestation of the genetic disorder tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although significant mechanistic and therapeutic advances have been made in TSC, treatments for seizures remain largely ineffective.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare
