epileptic syndromes: from clinic to genetic.
نویسندگان
چکیده
epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. studies have demonstrated that genetic factors have a strong role in etiology of epilepsy. mutations in genes encoding ion channels, neurotransmitters and other proteins involved in the neuronal biology have been recognized in different types of this disease. moreover, some chromosomal aberration including ring chromosomes will result in epilepsy. in this review, we intend to highlight the role of molecular genetic in etiology of epilepsy syndromes, inspect the most recent classification of international league against epilepsy and discuss the role of genetic counseling and genetic testing in management of epilepsy syndromes. furthermore, we emphasize on collaboration of neurologists and geneticists to improve diagnosis and management.

متن کاملRelation of photosensitivity to epileptic syndromes.
Photosensitivity is the most common mode of seizure precipitation. It is age-related, more frequent in females, and most often found in generalised epilepsies. Little is known about its relation to individual epileptic syndromes. This study on 1062 epileptic patients who had 4007 split screen video EEG investigations revealed that the relation to generalised epilepsy is even more close than gen...

متن کاملEpileptic Encephalopathy Syndromes in Infancy
A diagnostic scheme for people with epileptic seizures and with epilepsy proposed by ILAE Commission (2001) (Engel, Jr. et al, 2001) newly adopted the concept of “epileptic encephalopathy” as one of new key terms. It is defined as a condition in which epileptiform abnormalities are believed to contribute to the progressive disturbance in cerebral function, but this definition may be ambiguous. ...
متن کاملCryptogenic epileptic syndromes related to SCN1A: twelve novel mutations identified.
BACKGROUND Sodium channel alpha 1 subunit gene, SCN1A, is the gene encoding the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel alpha 1 subunit (Na(v)1.1) and is mutated in different forms of epilepsy. Mutations in this gene were observed in more than 70% of patients with severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI) and were also found in different types of infantile epileptic encephalopathy. OBJECTIVE ...
متن کاملA Clinical Guide to Epileptic Syndromes and Their Treatment
The recognition of epilepsy syndromes and attempts at their classi®cation has led to a burgeoning literature in this area. This body of research represents one of the most important advances in epileptology over the last 20 years. The addition of neuroradiological insights and, more recently, genetic discoveries have both enhanced our ability to diagnose and classify epilepsy syndromes and to u...
