Episodic ataxia type 5 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system, leading to intermittent episodes of poor coordination and balance (ataxia). This condition is caused by mutations in the CACNB4 gene, which plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of calcium channels in the body. These channels are essential for the […]
Episodic ataxia type 6 (EA6) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by episodes of ataxia, which is a lack of muscle coordination that can affect speech, eye movements, and the ability to swallow, walk, and perform fine motor tasks. These episodes can vary in frequency and duration, often triggered by stress, physical exertion, or sudden […]
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures. It’s a condition that affects millions worldwide, with various underlying genetic factors contributing to its complexity. Among the genetic factors, mutations in the SLC2A1 gene have been identified as a significant cause of epilepsy, specifically idiopathic generalized epilepsy type 12. Recognizing […]
Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex (EBS) is a group of genetic conditions that result in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes in response to minor injury or friction. Among the various types of EBS, the Autosomal Recessive Type 2, also known as the severe generalized type, is caused by mutations in the DST gene. This […]
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Among the various types of epilepsy, Juvenile Absence Epilepsy (JAE) is a condition that typically begins in childhood or adolescence. It is crucial to understand the genetic underpinnings of such disorders to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. In this context, the EFHC1 gene plays […]
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide, manifesting in recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Among the various forms of epilepsy, genetic factors play a significant role in its development and progression. One such genetic factor is mutations in the GRIN2A gene, which have been associated with epilepsy accompanied by neurodevelopmental defects. Understanding the […]
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Among its various forms, nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) presents a unique challenge due to its manifestation primarily during sleep. Recent advancements in genetics have identified the KCNT1 gene as a significant contributor to certain epilepsy syndromes, including NFLE. Understanding the symptoms of KCNT1 gene […]
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures. Among its various types, Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) is notable for its impact on children, typically between the ages of 4 and 8 years. A significant development in understanding this condition has been the identification of genetic factors that contribute to its manifestation. One such gene, […]
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain affecting how it works for a short period. Among the various types of epilepsy, Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy (NFLE) stands out due to its unique manifestation primarily during sleep. A significant breakthrough in understanding the genetic […]
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder marked by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures. It is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, with various genetic factors playing a crucial role in its development. One such genetic factor is related to the GABRA1 gene, which has been linked to childhood absence epilepsy type 4 […]
