Individuals harboring pathogenic variants in ARHGEF9, encoding an essential submembrane protein for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic synapses named collybistin, show intellectual disability (ID), facial dysmorphism, behavioral disorders, and epilepsy. Only few affected females carrying large chromosomal rearrangements involving ARHGEF9 have...

We investigated drugs most often used to treat epilepsy in Rett Syndrome and their efficacy in a large cohort of Italian patients.

Background and Objectives Pathogenic STXBP1 variants cause a severe early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (STXBP1-DEE). We aimed to investigate the natural history of STXBP1-DEE in adults focusing on seizure evolution, the presence of movement disorders, and the level of functional (in)dependence. Methods In this observational...

Clinical manifestations in STXBP1 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) vary in severity and outcome, and the genotypic spectrum is diverse. We aim to trace the neurodevelopmental trajectories in individuals with STXBP1-DEE and dissect the relationship between neurodevelopment and epilepsy.
