SCN1A Variants in vaccine‐related febrile seizures: A prospective study
Febrile seizures may follow vaccination. Common variants in the sodium channel gene, SCN1A, are associated with febrile seizures, and rare pathogenic variants in SCN1A cause the severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy Dravet syndrome. Following

Observational Study of Tocilizumab in Children With Febrile Infection‐Related Epilepsy Syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of using tocilizumab in children with febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) and explore tocilizumab‐related changes in interleukin (IL)‐6 levels. Methods Patients with FIRES admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Beijing Children's Hospital were retrospectively ...

Persistently modified h-channels after complex febrile seizures convert the seizure-induced enhancement of inhibition to hyperexcitability. [PDF]
Febrile seizures are the most common type of developmental seizures, affecting up to 5% of children. Experimental complex febrile seizures involving the immature rat hippocampus led to a persistent lowering of seizure threshold despite an upregulation of

ABSTRACT The interstitial 6p microdeletion syndrome is characterized by dysmorphic facies and structural heart, kidney, brain, and musculoskeletal differences. RREB1 haploinsufficiency and consequent abnormal RAS‐MAPK pathway signaling have been proposed as a driver of the disease phenotype; however, apart from a single case report, the phenotype of ...
