Investigators from Yokohama City University and other medical centers in Israel and Japan reported mutations on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors subunit GRIN1 (GluN1) identified in patients with nonsyndromic intellectual disability and early-onset epileptic encephalopathy.

متن کاملEpileptic and nonepileptic features in patients with early onset epileptic encephalopathy and STXBP1 mutations.
PURPOSE STXBP1 (MUNC18-1) mutations have been associated with various types of epilepsies, mostly beginning early in life. To refine the phenotype associated with STXBP1 aberrations in early onset epileptic syndromes, we studied this gene in a cohort of patients with early onset epileptic encephalopathy. METHODS STXBP1 was screened in a multicenter cohort of 52 patients with early onset epile...
متن کاملRecurrent and Non-Recurrent Mutations of SCN8A in Epileptic Encephalopathy
Mutations of the voltage-gated sodium channel SCN8A have been identified in approximately 1% of nearly 1,500 children with early-infantile epileptic encephalopathies (EIEE) who have been tested by DNA sequencing. EIEE caused by mutation of SCN8A is designated EIEE13 (OMIM #614558). Affected children have seizure onset before 18 months of age as well as developmental and cognitive disabilities, ...
متن کاملEarly Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy Panel
12/17 Clinical Features and Molecular Genetics: Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE), also known as Ohtahara syndrome, is a severe form of epilepsy characterized by frequent tonic spasms with onset in the first months of life. EEG reveals suppression-burst patterns, characterized by highvoltage bursts alternating with almost flat suppression phases. Seizures are medically intractable...
