Low diagnostic yield of presurgical genetic testing in adult patients with epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for epilepsy. Methods We conducted a cohort study including 115 adult patients who underwent presurgical evaluation in the Calgary Epilepsy Program between 2019 and 2023 and who had undergone research exome sequencing.

The burden of cystic fibrosis in North Africa

Frontiers in Genetics
Background: Over 200 pathogenic variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene are associated with cystic fibrosis (CF)—the most prevalent autosomal recessive disease globally, the p.Phe508del variant being the most ...

SUDEP and mortality in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials and extension studies

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are associated with high premature mortality and increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). However, epidemiological data remain limited, particularly for specific syndromes such as Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), and infantile epileptic ...

Epilepsy syndromes classification

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
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 ...

Disease taxonomy - monogenic muscular dystrophy [PDF]

British Medical Bulletin, 1999
The field of the autosomal recessive progressive muscular dystrophies has clarified significantly following the recent elucidation of the genetic and molecular etiology of a number of these entities. These studies illustrate how genetics provides a rationale and objective basis for a new, refined nosology.

Neonatal seizures: Advances in diagnosis and management

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created the ILAE Neonatal Task Force that classified neonatal seizures, defined neonatal epilepsy syndromes, and specified treatment guidelines. These frameworks, in addition to improved access to genetic testing and other recent advances, have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of ...

Artificial intelligence in preclinical epilepsy research: Current state, potential, and challenges

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Preclinical translational epilepsy research uses animal models to better understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy and its comorbidities, as well as to analyze and develop potential treatments that may mitigate this neurological disorder and its associated conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across

Asian–Pacific perspectives on the management of very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]

Intestinal Research
Children diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) before the age of 6 years are considered to have “very early-onset IBD (VEO-IBD),” which is challenging to diagnose and treat.
