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”.

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.

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 ...

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.

Treatment of pediatric epilepsy

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Anti‐seizure medications are the first‐line treatment for the vast majority of children with epilepsy, with the advantages of non‐invasive wide adaptability. Surgery is the main treatment for drug‐resistant epilepsy and lesion‐related epilepsy, which can cure some cases of epilepsy in children. A ketogenic diet is often an add‐on therapy.

Genetic risk factor identification for common epilepsies guided by integrative omics data analysis

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) comprise the most common genetically determined epilepsy syndromes, following a complex mode of inheritance. Although many important common and rare genetic factors causing or contributing to these epilepsies have been identified in the past decades, many features of the genetic architecture are ...

Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy in two Turkish patients in Turkey and review of the literature

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2015
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive enzyme defect in the vitamin B6 metabolism characterized by intractable seizures which are usually resistant to all antiepileptic drugs but respond to pharmacological doses of ...

Identifying Immune Cells as Mediators in the Impact of Gut Microbiota on Congenital Malformations of the Nervous System

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study reveals causal links between gut microbiota and congenital nervous system malformations, identifying nine immune cell types, such as CD20+ and CD25+ B cells, as mediators, highlighting gut–immune interactions as potential preventive or therapeutic targets.

Untargeted Metabolomics for Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Understanding the Pathophysiology of Inherited Metabolic Disorders

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) encompass a diverse and expanding group of rare diseases caused by genetic disruptions mainly in metabolic enzymes and transporters. Clinical diagnosis of IMDs presents significant challenges due to phenotypic heterogeneity, nonspecific symptoms, and the limited scope of current targeted biochemical assays ...
