Somatic variants in diverse genes leads to a spectrum of focal cortical malformations

Dulcie Lai et al.

Summary: Somatic variants in genes involved in brain development have been found to cause malformations associated with epilepsy. These variants have been identified in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway and other genes in patients with hemimegalencephaly and focal cortical dysplasia.

The ILAE consensus classification of focal cortical dysplasia: An update proposed by an ad hoc task force of the ILAE diagnostic methods commission

Imad Najm et al.

Summary: Ongoing challenges in diagnosing focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) require continuous research and consensus agreement to improve disease definition and classification. An International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Task Force has reviewed the FCD classification of 2011 and identified existing gaps. They conducted surveys, literature reviews, and clinico-pathological studies to update the classification and propose new categories. This update may contribute to a better understanding of FCD and the development of targeted treatments.

Frequent SLC35A2 brain mosaicism in mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia in epilepsy (MOGHE)

Thomas Bonduelle et al.

Summary: Focal malformations of cortical development are associated with somatic brain mutations during neurodevelopment, while MOGHE is a newly recognized entity linked to pediatric drug-resistant focal epilepsy, amenable to neurosurgical treatment. The study identified somatic pathogenic SLC35A2 variants in MOGHE patients, suggesting a genetic marker for this condition.

Toward a better definition of focal cortical dysplasia: An iterative histopathological and genetic agreement trial

Ingmar Bluemcke et al.

Summary: This study focused on the genetic and histopathological agreement of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) diagnosis, revealing improved consistency among neuropathologists with the addition of immunostainings and the Delphi consensus method. Genetic testing results identified mutations in genes such as MTOR, AKT3, and SLC35A2 that are associated with FCD, providing insight for the diagnosis of FCD subtypes.

Magnetic resonance imaging findings and clinical characteristics in mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy in a predominantly adult cohort

Vanessa C. Mendes Coelho et al.

Summary: MOGHE is a rare clinicopathological entity associated with pharmacoresistance in patients with frontal lobe epilepsy, characterized by MRI findings similar to focal cortical dysplasia Type IIa. The lesion is often located in the frontal lobe but can also involve the temporal lobe or multiple lobes. Multilobar or extensive lesions are associated with less favorable surgical outcomes, highlighting the importance of further multicenter studies to better characterize MOGHE.
