Compound Heterozygous ALDH7A1 Mutation Causes the Hemi-Allelic Expression in a Patient with Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy

Tokyo Women's Medical University Journal, 2019
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is an inherited disease with an autosomal recessive trait caused by deficiency of α-amino-adipic semialdehyde (AASA) dehydrogenase encoded by the ALDH7A1 gene.

PipY, a Member of the Conserved COG0325 Family of PLP-Binding Proteins, Expands the Cyanobacterial Nitrogen Regulatory Network [PDF]

, 2017
Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is a paradigmatic model organism for nitrogen regulation in cyanobacteria. Expression of genes involved in nitrogen assimilation is positively regulated by the 2-oxoglutarate receptor and global transcriptional regulator ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Epilepsy syndromes classification

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.

Infantile spasms (West syndrome): update and resources for pediatricians and providers to share with parents [PDF]

, 2012
Background Infantile spasms (IS; West syndrome) is a severe form of encephalopathy that typically affects infants younger than 2 years old. Pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, and other pediatric health care providers are all potentially key early ...

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Clinical diagnosis, treatment, and ALDH7A1 mutations in pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy in three Chinese infants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
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.

Neonatal seizures: Advances in diagnosis and management

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) created the ILAE Neonatal Task Force that classified neonatal seizures, defined neonatal epilepsy syndromes, and specified treatment guidelines. These frameworks, in addition to improved access to genetic testing and other recent advances, have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of ...

A Case of Pyridoxine Dependent Epilepsy Presented with Status Epilepticus

Journal of Pediatric Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine, 2019
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive encephalopathy due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene. Intractable seizures are the most frequent clinical form in the early infantile period.

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]

, 2018
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.
