Identification of a Second‐Hit Brain Somatic DEPDC5 Variant Supports Causality of a DEPDC5 Germline Variant of Uncertain Significance. Time for a Classification Update?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germline variants in DEPDC5 are a cause of familial focal epilepsy with variable foci. Affected individuals may have focal cortical dysplasia if a second brain somatic variant occurs. As access to brain tissue is limited, the second somatic hit in the brain is usually presumed if a clear pathogenic germline variant is present. Here, we present

Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing by Cell‐Free DNA (cfNIPT) for Detecting Turner Syndrome With Mosaicism and Structural Variants—Prenatal Findings and Postnatal Outcomes

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner Syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosomal disorder associated with karyotype heterogeneity. Although TS can be associated with severe prenatal findings, most often linked to the 45, X karyotype, the majority of TS fetuses have no overt phenotype, resulting in delayed diagnosis and management.

Mapping Postictal Aphasia through Signal Complexity: A Stereo‐Electroencephalography Study

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The postictal period provides an opportunity to investigate the pathophysiology underlying aphasia and recovery following epileptic seizures. This study examines postictal aphasia in stereo‐electroencephalography (SEEG)‐explored patients to identify brain regions associated with task‐specific language deficits using signal complexity analysis.
