Clinical spectrum of STX1B-related epileptic disorders

TL;DR: Variants in STX1B are protean and contribute to many different epilepsy phenotypes, similar to SCN1A, the most important gene associated with fever-associated epilepsies.

Ultra-rare genetic variation in the epilepsies: a whole-exome sequencing study of 17,606 individuals

Epi Collaborative, +234 more
- 21 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: A convergence in the genetics of common and rare epilepsies associated with ultra-rare coding variation is confirmed and a ubiquitous role for GABAergic inhibition in epilepsy etiology is highlighted in the largest epilepsy WES study to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dravet syndrome as part of the clinical and genetic spectrum of sodium channel epilepsies and encephalopathies.

TL;DR: It has now been clarified that the clinical spectrum of the syndrome does not have firmly established boundaries, and fragments of it can at times also be manifested in other genetic epilepsy syndromes, thereby leading to overdiagnosis of Dravet syndrome beyond SCN1A.
