EPILEPSY AND INFANTILE CONVULSIONS

Genetic analysis of PRRT2 for benign infantile epilepsy, infantile convulsions with choreoathetosis syndrome, and benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis.

PURPOSE PRRT2 mutations were recently identified in benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE) and infantile convulsions with paroxysmal choreoathetosis (ICCA) but no abnormalities have so far been identified in their phenotypically similar seizure disorder of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG), while mutations in KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 have been recognized in benign familial neonatal e...

Phenotypes and PRRT2 mutations in Chinese families with benign familial infantile epilepsy and infantile convulsions with paroxysmal choreoathetosis

BACKGROUND Mutations in the PRRT2 gene have been identified as the major cause of benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE), paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) and infantile convulsions with paroxysmal choreoathetosis/dyskinesias (ICCA). Here, we analyzed the phenotypes and PRRT2 mutations in Chinese families with BFIE and ICCA. METHODS Clinical data were collected from 22 families with ...

Determinant of Convulsions in Acute Infantile Hypernatraemia

or over), convulsions occurred early in therapy in 17. Other common causes of convulsions had been eliminated as far as possible. The incidence of convulsions was related to the degree of uraemia and acidaemia present on admission and not related to the sodium concentration. It is concluded that hypernatraemia, within the range studied, is not an important cause of infantile seizures unless oth...
