Insights into ANKRD11‐related epilepsy from 163 people

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Ankyrin repeat domain 11 gene (ANKRD11) is the key disease gene for autosomal dominant KBG syndrome, and a subset of affected individuals develop epilepsy. However, comprehensive characterization of epilepsy‐related phenotypes and genotype–phenotype correlations in ANKRD11 variant carriers remains limited.

Correlation study between genetic polymorphisms of melanocortin receptors and adrenocorticotropic hormone responsiveness in infantile spasms

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2012
Objective To explore the possible correlation between the genetic variations of the melanocortin receptors (MCRs, including MC2R, MC3R and MC4R) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) responsiveness in patients with infantile spasms, and to investigate ...

Raising resilience: A parenting intervention for families affected by childhood epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite behavioral concerns reported among children with epilepsy, evidence‐based family‐focused interventions designed for this population remain limited. The objectives of this study were to characterize behavioral concerns and parent mental health needs in families of children with epilepsy relative to children with non‐epileptic ...

A prospective natural history study protocol for clinical trial readiness in synaptic disorders

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective STXBP1‐related disorder (STXBP1‐RD) and SYNGAP1‐related disorder (SYNGAP1‐RD) are two common genetic synaptopathies that are associated with epilepsy, developmental delay, intellectual developmental disorder, and behavioral problems.

Neurotransmission Sex Dichotomy in the Rat Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus in Healthy and Infantile Spasm Model

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
We profiled the gene expressions in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei of 12 male and 12 female pups from a standard rat model of infantile spasms to determine the sex dichotomy of the neurotransmission genomic fabrics.

WONOEP appraisal: Biomarkers and treatment strategies beyond the synapse

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous neurological disorder affecting more than 70 million people worldwide, posing significant challenges for clinicians due to its complex etiology, diverse manifestations, variable treatment responses, and the inability to predict seizures or disease onset reliably.

Pathophysiology of Infantile Spasms

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1993
An age-specific endogenous-convulsant hypothesis implicating corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), an excitant neuropeptide suppressed by ACTH/steroids, is proposed for the pathophysiology of massive infantile spasms in a report from the University of ...

Epilepsy‐associated SCN2A‐L1342P mutation drives network hyperexcitability and widespread transcriptomic changes in human cortical organoids

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective SCN2A pathogenic mutations, such as the recurrent heterozygous Nav1.2‐L1342P, are monogenic causes of epilepsy. In this human‐induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model system, we aim to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SCN2A‐L1342P‐associated pathology. Methods Using a human male induced pluripotent stem

Prognosis of Infantile Spasms

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1993
The developmental, neurologic, and seizure outcome and prognostic factors of 57 cases of infantile spasms were evaluated in relation to etiology (cryptogenic 17 cases, symptomatic 40 cases) at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada.
