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 ...

Feasibility of newborn screening for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE-ALDH7A1) is a developmental epileptic encephalopathy historically characterized by seizures that are resistant to antiseizure medications. Treatment with pyridoxine and lysine reduction therapies are associated with seizure control and improved developmental outcomes. In rare circumstances, patients have died prior to

Pyridoxine Dependent Epilepsy with Iatrogenic Sensory Neuronopathy [PDF]
ABSTRACT:An 18-year-old man was treated from birth with chronic high dose pyridoxine (vitamin B6) up to 2000 mg per day for pyridoxine-dependent seizures. Within two years of onset of treatment, he developed a sensory neuropathy which did not progress over the following 16 years.

A case of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy with novel ALDH7A1 mutations [PDF]
Abstract Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder typically presenting with neonatal seizures and is sometimes difficult to diagnose, because the clinical features mimic those of birth asphyxia. A Japanese newborn boy presented with pulmonary haemorrhage and convulsions on the day of birth.

Clinical diagnosis, treatment, and ALDH7A1 mutations in pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy in three Chinese infants. [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that causes seizures in neonates and infants. Mutations of the ALDH7A1 gene are now recognized as the molecular basis PDE and help to define this disease.

Case report: Clinical and genetic characterization of a novel ALDH7A1 variant causing pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, developmental delay, and intellectual disability in two siblings [PDF]
BackgroundPathogenic variants in ALDH7A1 are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE), a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by epileptic seizures, unresponsiveness to standard antiseizure medications (ASM), and a response only to ...

Variability of Phenotype in Two Sisters with Pyridoxine Dependent Epilepsy [PDF]
Background:Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) is characterized by neonatal epileptic encepahalopathy responsive to pharmacological doses of vitamin B6. Recently an autosomal recessive deficiency in Antiquitin (ALDH7A1), a gene involved in the catabolism of lysine has been identified as the underlying cause.Case report:In 21 and 23 year-old sisters ...
