ABSTRACT Mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase VA (CA‐VA) deficiency is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by biallelic variants of the CA5A gene. It presents with hyperammonemia, lactic acidosis, and ketonuria, with or without hypoglycemia. We report the long‐term follow‐up of the first two reported cases of CA‐VA deficiency: a 16‐year‐old female ...

KCNJ4 variants disrupt inward‐rectifier potassium channel function and cause refractory epilepsy
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis, most frequently arising from ion channel dysfunction. Although multiple inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels have been implicated in epileptogenesis, the contribution of KCNJ4, which encodes the Kir2.3 channel, has not previously been established in human

Maternal Child‐Directed Speech Toward Children With Infantile Spasm or West Syndrome
ABSTRACT Background Maternal child‐directed speech (MCDS) plays a critical role in early language and communicative development, yet little is known about how it adapts to neurodevelopmental conditions such as Infantile Spasms/West Syndrome (WS), particularly when co‐occurring with intellectual disability (WID) or autism spectrum disorder (WASD).
