De novo mutations in epileptic encephalopathies

Andrew S. Allen, +72 more
- 12 Sep 2013 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical outcome and prognostic factors of frontal lobe epilepsy surgery

TL;DR: More than half of patients in favourable prognostic categories were seizure-free at 3 years, and up to 40% were seizure free at 5 years, compared to <15% in those with unfavourable outcome predictors, which underscores the importance of appropriate selection of potential surgical candidates.
Journal Article

The epileptogenic zone: general principles

TL;DR: Sir Victor Horsley, a British neurosurgeon, pioneered epilepsy surgery and, in 1886, published the reports of successful cortical resections that resulted in a significant reduction in epileptic seizures in three patients.
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

Predictors of outcome after temporal lobectomy for the treatment of intractable epilepsy

TL;DR: To assess short- and long-term seizure freedom, the authors reviewed 371 patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy to treat pharmacoresistant epilepsy and identified multiple predictors of recurrence.
