Efficacy of fenfluramine in a pediatric epilepsy patient with a pathogenic SV2A variant: A case report

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...

Effects of fenfluramine and sigma‐1‐dependent pharmacological and genetic modulation in a mouse kindling model

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sigma‐1 is a chaperone protein that serves as a key homeostatic regulator, implicated in neuronal excitability and seizure control. Positive allosteric modulators offer a use‐dependent means to enhance Sigma‐1 activity, potentially with favorable tolerability compared to direct agonists.

Are comorbid sleep disorders associated with higher risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy? Observations from a Canadian epilepsy clinic

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pooled mortality is nearly three times higher in people with epilepsy (PWE). Approximately 80% of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) events occur during sleep, and primary sleep disorders are prevalent in the general population and PWE.

Effectiveness and tolerability of fenfluramine in pediatric and adult patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A multicenter, retrospective, real‐world clinical‐practice study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and developmental slowing/regression. We examined the efficacy and tolerability of fenfluramine (FFA) in pediatric and adult patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), and other DEEs.

Fgf3 is crucial for the generation of monoaminergic cerebrospinal fluid contacting cells in zebrafish

Biology Open, 2019
In most vertebrates, including zebrafish, the hypothalamic serotonergic cerebrospinal fluid-contacting (CSF-c) cells constitute a prominent population. In contrast to the hindbrain serotonergic neurons, little is known about the development and function ...

Prolonged fenfluramine use in open‐label studies of Dravet or Lennox–Gastaut syndromes: Long‐term safety, tolerability, patient global functioning, and considerations for interpreting effectiveness

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract provides an overview of the content from this open‐label extension study of fenfluramine use in patients with Dravet syndrome or Lennox‐Gastaut syndrome. Abstract Objective Long‐term safety and global functioning are reported in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) or Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) treated with fenfluramine in an ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...
