Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is an autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder due to a deficiency of α-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (mutation in ALDH7A1 gene), more commonly known as antiquitin (ATQ).

Pyridoxine‐dependent epilepsy: Current perspectives and questions for future research [PDF]
Pyridoxine‐dependent epilepsy (PDE) was historically defined by a dramatic clinical response to a trial of pyridoxine and the re‐emergence of seizures after withdrawal of pyridoxine.

Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy caused by an ALDH7A1 mutation in an infant girl: the first case report in Syria [PDF]
Background Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy is primarily characterized by early-onset refractory seizures. This condition can be caused by alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency due to a mutation in the ALDH7A1 gene, leading to the ...

A case for newborn screening for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. [PDF]
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy due to mutations in ALDH7A1 (PDH-ALDH7A1) is a highly treatable developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Pharmacologic doses of pyridoxine are associated with dramatic clinical seizure improvement and most patient achieve adequate seizure control with pyridoxine alone.
