Pyridoxine dependent epilepsies: new therapeutical point of view [PDF]
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsies (PDEs) are rare autosomal recessive disorders with onset in neonatal period. Seizures are typically not responsive to conventional antiepileptic drugs, but they cease after parental pyridoxine administration. Atypical forms are characterized partly response to pyridoxine and a late onset of symptoms (up to the age of ...

Pyridoxine-dependent early onset seizures associated with rare gene mutations: a case series
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Several genes involved in Pyridoxine (B6) metabolism have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PDE, two such genes are Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 7 Family Member A1 (ALDH7A1) and ...

The case of pyridoxine dependent epilepsy misdiagnosed as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare but an important condition, since early diagnosis and treatment result in normal or near normal psychomotor development. It is caused by mutations in the Antiquitin (ALDH7A1) gene.

Incidence and phenotypes of childhood-onset genetic epilepsies:a prospective population-based national cohort [PDF]
Epilepsy is common in early childhood. In this age group it is associated with high rates of therapy-resistance, and with cognitive, motor, and behavioural comorbidity. A large number of genes, with wide ranging functions, are implicated in its aetiology,

Mutations in GPAA1, Encoding a GPI Transamidase Complex Protein, Cause Developmental Delay, Epilepsy, Cerebellar Atrophy, and Osteopenia. [PDF]
Approximately one in every 200 mammalian proteins is anchored to the cell membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. These proteins play important roles notably in neurological development and function. To date, more than 20 genes have

Genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (ALDH7A1 deficiency) [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy was recently shown to be due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of l-α-aminoadipic semialdehyde/l-Δ1 ...

Dietary modulation of cortical excitation and inhibition [PDF]
The balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain affects both neural responses and behaviour in humans and animals. Here we investigated whether dietary intervention aimed at increasing levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter ...

Self‐limited neonatal epilepsy with 2q24.3 duplications: Case series and literature review
Abstract Objective To clarify the phenotypic spectrum associated with duplications involving the 2q24.3 region, which includes a cluster of genes encoding sodium channel subunits (SCN1A, SCN2A, SCN3A, SCN7A, and SCN9A). Methods We reviewed our research database for patients with epilepsy and 2q24.3 duplication and performed thorough phenotyping.
