De Novo Loss-of-Function Mutations in CHD2 Cause a Fever-Sensitive Myoclonic Epileptic Encephalopathy Sharing Features with Dravet Syndrome

Arvid Suls, +74 more
TL;DR: This study provides evidence that de novo loss-of-function mutations in CHD2 are a cause of epileptic encephalopathy with generalized seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological Characterization of an Antisense Knockdown Zebrafish Model of Dravet Syndrome: Inhibition of Epileptic Seizures by the Serotonin Agonist Fenfluramine

TL;DR: This is the first study demonstrating effective seizure inhibition of fenfluramine in an animal model of Dravet syndrome, and these results provide a basis for identifying novel analogs with improved activity and significantly milder or no side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonergic Modulation as Effective Treatment for Dravet Syndrome in a Zebrafish Mutant Model

TL;DR: This study examined which 5-HT receptor subtypes can be targeted to trigger antiseizure effects in homozygous scn1Lab(-/-) mutant zebrafish larvae that recapitulate DS well and confirmed the efficacy of fenfluramine as an antiepileptiform compound in zebra fish models of DS.
