Advantages of Exome Sequencing Over Panel Testing for Individuals With a Seizure Indication
ABSTRACT Objective Our aim was to investigate the advantages of exome sequencing versus panel testing for patients with unexplained seizures. Methods We reviewed the diagnostic outcomes of exome sequencing by a commercial genetics laboratory for more than 16 000 individuals with a clinical history of seizures or suspected seizures.

Pharmacogenomic research has historically focused on individuals of European ancestry, leading to the underrepresentation of genetic variants common in non‐European populations. This bias is exemplified by CYP3A5*6, a functionally consequential variant common in individuals of African ancestry (MAF: 11–19%) but virtually absent in Europeans (MAF: 0.15%)

Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) and Nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) are key enzymes that catabolize thiopurines. Decreased or no‐function alleles in TPMT and NUDT15 are associated with reduced or no enzyme activity and predictive of pronounced adverse effects, including severe myelosuppression, that may occur among individuals treated with standard ...

Behavioral and epileptic phenotypes in a CHD2‐related developmental delay model
Abstract Objective Heterozygous loss‐of‐function mutations in the CHD2 gene, encoding chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding protein 2, are associated with severe childhood onset epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autistic features. Animal models that accurately recapitulate human phenotypes are crucial for understanding rare neurodevelopmental ...

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.
