TL;DR: In this paper, a screen for de novo mutations in patients with two classical epileptic encephalopathies: infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (n = 115) was performed.

TL;DR: Excess ultra-rare variation in known epilepsy genes is identified, which establishes a clear connection between the genetics of common and rare, severe epilepsies, and shows that the variants responsible for epilepsy risk are exceptionally rare in the general population.

TL;DR: Exome sequence data is used to identify putative de novo CNVs in 349 trios with IS or LGS and highlight novel candidate genes for IS and LGS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Value of routine screening for bone demineralization in an urban population of patients with epilepsy.
TL;DR: Low BMD is prevalent and a significant health concern in an urban population of patients with epilepsy, and routinely screening for reduced bone mineralization is warranted in patients receiving anticonvulsant therapy.
