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

open access: yesEpilepsia, 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

Reconsideration of Vigabatrin Effect in Infantile Spasms Treatment [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Child Neurology, 2019
Purpose To investigate the effect of vigabatrin (VGB) as a therapeutic agent for patients with infantile spasms (IS), compare risk factors for treatment response, and review safety of VGB by assessing its side effects.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Is oral absorption of vigabatrin carrier-mediated?

open access: yes, 2015
The aim of the study was to investigate the intestinal transport mechanisms responsible for vigabatrin absorption in rats by developing a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model of vigabatrin oral absorption.

Developmental pathways to autism in tuberous sclerosis complex: Evidence from a longitudinal cohort

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The association between autism spectrum disorder (hereafter referred to as autism) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is well established, yet the developmental pathways linking genetic mutation, cortical pathology, and epilepsy with autism remain unclear. The Tuberous Sclerosis 2000 Study recruited children newly diagnosed with TSC (N = 125)

The spectrum and efficacy of antiepileptic drugs in patients with infantile spasms in Russia

open access: yesЭпилепсия и пароксизмальные состояния, 2018
Recently, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) defined epileptic spasms as a separate type of seizures. According to the international recommendations, the treatment of infantile  spasms (IS) begins with hormones or vigabatrin (in the cases ...

Epilepsy syndromes classification

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.

Torin 1 partially corrects vigabatrin‐induced mitochondrial increase in mouse

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2015
Recent findings in mice with targeted deletion of the GABA‐metabolic enzyme succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase revealed a new role for supraphysiological GABA (4‐aminobutyric acid) in the activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) that ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Visual Fields in Mothers and Children Exposed in Utero to Vigabatrin

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 2009
Three mothers with 4 children exposed to vigabatrin in utero (but not breast fed) underwent perimetry and imaging of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) at the University Hospital of Wales and School of Optometry, Cardiff, UK.
