Efficacy of Stiripentol in Dravet Syndrome with or without SCN1A Mutations [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of stiripentol (STP) add-on therapy to valproate and clobazam in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) according to the presence of mutations in the sodium channel alpha-1 subunit gene (SCN1A).We performed direct sequencing to analyze SCN1A mutations in 32 patients with clinically confirmed with DS,

SCN1A-Related Epilepsy: Novel Mutations and Rare Phenotypes
ObjectivesTo expand the genotypes and phenotypes of sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1 (SCN1A)-related epilepsy.MethodsWe retrospectively collected the clinical and genetic information of 22 epilepsy patients (10 males, 12 females; mean: 9.2 ± 3.9 years; 3.9–20.3 years) carrying 22 variants of SCN1A.

SCN1A mutation spectrum in a cohort of Bulgarian patients with GEFS+ phenotype [PDF]
Background. Dravet syndrome (DS) is the most severe form of Generalized Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures plus (GEFS+) syndrome with a clear genetic component in 85% of the cases. It is characterized by fever-provoked seizure onset around six months of age and subsequent developmental deterioration later in life. Methods.

Nodular heterotopia: a rare finding in patients with epilepsy and SCN1A mutation [PDF]
A 25-year-old man had started febrile seizures from 6 months of age and developed important neurodevelopmental delay. At four years presented with status epilepticus and sequentially with refractory epilepsy. He presents with motor delay, behavior disorder and absent expressive language.
