Exome sequencing for patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies in clinical practice

Ingrid E. Scheffer et al.

Summary: Exome sequencing has been demonstrated to have clinical utility in the management of patients with DEEs, providing molecular diagnosis, guiding treatment, and informing accurate prognosis and reproductive counseling. Ongoing analysis of genomic data is necessary to identify the cause in patients with unknown etiology. The routine implementation of genomic testing in the care of children with DEEs should be considered in clinical practice.

ILAE classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in neonates and infants: Position statement by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions

Sameer M. Zuberi et al.

Summary: This article proposes a classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes in neonates and infants, aiming to support epilepsy diagnosis and emphasize the importance of classifying epilepsy by syndrome and etiology. The article reports the epidemiology, clinical course, seizure types, EEG, neuroimaging, genetics, and differential diagnosis for each syndrome, and presents self-limited syndromes, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, and etiology-specific epilepsy syndromes.

International League Against Epilepsy classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in childhood: Position paper by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions

Nicola Specchio et al.

Summary: The 2017 International League Against Epilepsy classification defines a three-tier system for epilepsy syndromes, with childhood onset epilepsy syndromes falling into three categories: self-limited focal epilepsies, generalized epilepsies, and developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathies. Identification of specific syndromes helps guide management and prognosis. This paper describes these childhood onset epilepsy syndromes, highlighting their seizure types, EEG features, phenotypic variations, and key investigation findings.

A Phenotypic-Driven Approach for the Diagnosis of WOREE Syndrome

Antonella Riva et al.

Summary: This article reports on a boy with a peculiar clinic-radiological pattern supporting the diagnosis of WOREE syndrome. Genetic testing revealed pathogenic variants in the WWOX gene and a deletion mutation. The study highlights the possibility of technical pitfalls in targeted next generation sequencing-based testing and the need for further investigation in selected cases with high clinical suspicion.

Epilepsy Course and Developmental Trajectories in STXBP1-DEE

Ganna Balagura et al.

Summary: The study aims to trace the neurodevelopmental trajectories in individuals with STXBP1 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) and explores the relationship between neurodevelopment and epilepsy. The findings show that the disease course in STXBP1-DEE can be divided into two main trajectories, with either early seizure remission or drug-resistant epilepsy, and a range of neurodevelopmental outcomes from mild to profound intellectual disability. Age at seizure onset is the only epilepsy-related feature associated with neurodevelopmental outcome.

Neuronal deletion of Wwox, associated with WOREE syndrome, causes epilepsy and myelin defects

Srinivasarao Repudi et al.

Summary: WWOX-related epileptic encephalopathy (WOREE) syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by bi-allelic mutations in the WWOX gene, leading to symptoms such as intractable epilepsy and developmental delay. Studies in mice and human brain organoids have shown evidence of myelination defects and hyperexcitability associated with WWOX function.

Recently defined epileptic encephalopathy related to WWOX gene mutation: six patients and new mutations

Cengiz Havali et al.

Summary: This study evaluated six newly diagnosed patients with WWOX-related epileptic encephalopathy, identifying biallelic pathogenic variants in the WWOX gene. Three variations and two novel mutations in the WWOX gene were detected. Pathogenic WWOX mutations are associated with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy.

Monogenic Epilepsies Disease Mechanisms, Clinical Phenotypes, and Targeted Therapies

Renzo Guerrini et al.

Summary: A monogenic etiology can be identified in up to 40% of individuals with severe epilepsy, guiding treatment strategies based on implications on pathophysiology, natural history, comorbidities, and treatment choices. Evidence to guide ASM choices in genetic epilepsies is limited, with most treatment options based on inferences from observational studies. Phenotypic heterogeneity and functional consequences of genetic mutations complicate precision treatment approaches, while promising future directions include gene manipulation in early phase clinical development.
