Isolated focal cortical dysplasia
MONDO:0019009Isolated focal cortical dysplasia is a rare, genetic, non-syndromic cerebral malformation due to abnormal neuronal migration disorder characterized by variable-sized, focalized malformations located in any part(s) of the cerebral cortex, which manifests with drug-resistant epilepsy (usually leading to intellectual disability) and behavioral disturbances. Abnormal MRI findings (e.g. abnormal white and/or gray matter signal, blurred gray-white matter junction, localized volume loss, cortical thickening, abnormal gyral pattern, abnormal hippocampus) and variable histopathologic patterns are associated.
Also known as: epilepsy due to FCD

Gene sequencing uncovers mysterious fetal malformations
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested whether a powerful DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing can find genetic causes of multiple birth defects in fetuses when standard exams fail. Researchers studied 100 fetuses with at least two malformations and no prior diagnosis. They compared the n…

New drug interaction study aims to make radiprodil safer for future use
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested how the experimental drug radiprodil interacts with five common medications (warfarin, midazolam, digoxin, rosuvastatin, and omeprazole) in 18 healthy adults. Participants took radiprodil alone and then with each of these drugs to measure changes in drug levels …
