Introduction: Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare and complex genetic epilepsy syndrome. The first seizures are generally induced by fever in the first year of life of a previously healthy child, and the condition is typically associated with impaired psychomotor development. The authors present a clinical review of DS patients followed at a Neuropediatric Unit of a level III Pediatric Hospital. Material and methods...

Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia 20, SCAR20, is a rare condition characterized by intellectual disability, lack of speech, ataxia, coarse facies and macrocephaly, caused by SNX14 variants. While all cases described are due to homozygous variants that generally result in loss of protein, so far there are no other cases of reported compound heterozygous variants. Here we describe the first non-consangui...
High resolution genome-wide copy number analysis, routinely used in clinical diagnosis for several years, retrieves new and extremely rare copy number variations (CNVs) that provide novel candidate genes contributing to disease etiology. The aim of this work was to identify novel genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disease, inferred from CNVs detected by array comparative hybridization (aCGH), in a cohort of 3...

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an immune-mediated syndrome characterized by psychiatric symptoms, movement disorders, insomnia, seizures, altered level of consciousness and autonomic dysfunction. The aim of this study was described the cases of anti-NMDAR encephalitis admitted to a Neuropediatrics Department, in order to alert for the importance of early recognition of ...
