Epileptic Encephalopathies, CDKL5 Mutations, and Infantile Spasms

Early infantile epileptic encephalopathies

Epileptiform abnormalities contribute to progressive deterioration of cerebral function. Considered: Ohtahara Syndrome; Early myoclonic epileptic encephalopathy; West Syndrome; Dravet Syndrome; Myoclonic status in not progressive encephalopathies; CDKL5 encephalopaty. Ohtahara syndrome (OS) early infantile encephalopathy (EIEE). Most cases linked to cerebral malformations or very occasionally t...

CDKL5 Encephalopathy: A Rare Cause of Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy.

De novo mutations in epileptic encephalopathies

Epileptic encephalopathies are a devastating group of severe childhood epilepsy disorders for which the cause is often unknown. Here we report a screen for de novo mutations in patients with two classical epileptic encephalopathies: infantile spasms (n5 149) and Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (n5 115). We sequenced the exomes of 264 probands, and their parents, and confirmed 329 de novo mutations. A l...
