Genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity suggest therapeutic implications in SCN2A-related disorders.

Markus Wolff, +86 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: Clinical and experimental data suggest a correlation between age at disease onset, response to sodium channel blockers and the functional properties of mutations in children with SCN2A-related epilepsy, and suggest that mutations associated with early infantile epilepsy result in increased sodium channel activity with gain-of-function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in GRIN2A cause idiopathic focal epilepsy with rolandic spikes

Johannes R. Lemke, +73 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: Results establish alterations of the gene encoding the NMDA receptor NR2A subunit as a major genetic risk factor for IFE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide mega-analysis identifies 16 loci and highlights diverse biological mechanisms in the common epilepsies

Bassel Abou-Khalil, +158 more
TL;DR: The authors perform genome-wide association studies for 3 broad and 7 subtypes of epilepsy and identify 16 loci - 11 novel - that are further annotated by eQTL and partitioned heritability analyses that provide leads for epilepsy therapies based on underlying pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infants (Dravet Syndrome): Natural History and Neuropsychological Findings

TL;DR: The data suggest that SMEI can be considered as a prototype of an epileptic encephalopathy, and language capacities were better preserved than visuospatial functions, and behavior improved.
