Epilepsy is a disease!
According to the definition of disease, epilepsy shall not be considered neither a symptom nor a syndrome. Epilepsy is a generic term for a group of diseases characterized by seizures. It implies a state quite distinct from health. Therefore it seems worthy to keep epilepsy as such in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

متن کاملGene Therapy for Epilepsy: Resculpturing Synaptic Transmission with Neuropeptides
Recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector-induced neuropeptide Y (NPY) overexpression in the hippocampusexerts powerful antiepileptic and antiepileptogenic effects in rats. Suchgene therapy approach could be a valuable alternative for developingnew antiepileptic treatment strategies. Future clinical progress, how-ever, requires more detailed evaluation of possible sid...
متن کاملDisruption of LGI1-linked synaptic complex causes abnormal synaptic transmission and epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a devastating and poorly understood disease. Mutations in a secreted neuronal protein, leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1), were reported in patients with an inherited form of human epilepsy, autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features (ADPEAF). Here, we report an essential role of LGI1 as an antiepileptogenic ligand. We find that loss of LGI1 in mice (LGI1(-/-))...
متن کاملNeurobeachin is essential for neuromuscular synaptic transmission.
We report a random disruption in the mouse genome that resulted in lethal paralysis in homozygous newborns. The disruption blocked expression of neurobeachin, a protein containing a BEACH (beige and Chediak-Higashi) domain implicated in synaptic vesicle trafficking and an AKAP (A-kinase anchor protein) domain linked to localization of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. nbea-null mice demon...
