Cognitive and behavioral clinical outcome assessments in children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: Issues and instruments

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) face cognitive and behavioral challenges that may have a greater impact than seizures on their quality of life (QoL). The need to assess these nonseizure outcomes for evaluating treatments is increasingly recognized.

Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

High incidence of Y‐chromosome mosaicism in male and female individuals with mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia in epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia in epilepsy (MOGHE) is an underrecognized pediatric cortical lesion associated with somatic X‐linked SLC35A2 variants in approximately 50% of individuals. The genetic etiology in individuals without detectable SLC35A2 mutations remains undefined, which limits

Insights into ANKRD11‐related epilepsy from 163 people

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Ankyrin repeat domain 11 gene (ANKRD11) is the key disease gene for autosomal dominant KBG syndrome, and a subset of affected individuals develop epilepsy. However, comprehensive characterization of epilepsy‐related phenotypes and genotype–phenotype correlations in ANKRD11 variant carriers remains limited.

Amblyopia in astigmatic preschool children

Journal of Vision, 2002
Best-corrected acuity was measured for vertical and horizontal gratings and for recognition acuity optotypes (Lea Symbols) in a group of three- to five-year-old children with a high prevalence of astigmatism. Results showed meridional amblyopia (MA) among children with simple/compound myopic or mixed astigmatism, due to reduced acuity for horizontal ...

Beyond seizures: A multidimensional approach to non‐seizure issues in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome. Insights from Italian experts

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐seizure issues (NSIs), including cognition, behavior/psychiatric symptoms, adaptive and social functioning, sleep, autonomic, and motor impairments, often shape day‐to‐day outcomes in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) more than seizures, yet clinicians lack LGS‐specific, feasible assessment pathways.
