The role of neuronal GABA(A) receptor subunit mutations in idiopathic generalized epilepsiesL M Dibbens
Epilepsy Research Program, SA Pathology at Women s and Children s Hospital, North Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Neurosci Lett 453:162-5. 2009....
Familial and sporadic 15q13.3 microdeletions in idiopathic generalized epilepsy: precedent for disorders with complex inheritanceLeanne M Dibbens
Epilepsy Research Program, SA Pathology at Women s and Children s Hospital, North Adelaide, South Australia 5006, Australia
Hum Mol Genet 18:3626-31. 2009..3 deletion. The odds ratio is 68 (95% confidence interval 29-181), indicating a pathogenic lesion predisposing to epilepsy with complex inheritance and incomplete penetrance for the IGE component of the phenotype in multiplex families...
Recurrence risk of epilepsy and mental retardation in females due to parental mosaicism of PCDH19 mutationsL M Dibbens
Epilepsy Research Program, SA Pathology at Women s and Children s Hospital, 72 King William Rd, North Adelaide, SA 5006, South Australia
Neurology 76:1514-9. 2011..Despite both sister pairs having a PCDH19 mutation, neither parent in each family was a heterozygous carrier of the mutation. The possibility of parental mosaicism of PCDH19 mutations was investigated...
NEDD4-2 as a potential candidate susceptibility gene for epileptic photosensitivityL M Dibbens
Department of Genetic Medicine, Women s and Children s Hospital, North Adelaide, SA 5006, Australia
Genes Brain Behav 6:750-5. 2007..These data raise the possibility that photosensitive epilepsy may arise from defective interaction of NEDD4-2 with as yet unidentified accessory or target proteins...
A polygenic heterogeneity model for common epilepsies with complex geneticsL M Dibbens
Department of Genetic Medicine, Women s and Children s Hospital, North Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Genes Brain Behav 6:593-7. 2007..The genetic architecture so far emerging from these results is consistent with what we have designated as a polygenic heterogeneity model for the epilepsies with complex genetics...
Sodium channel alpha1-subunit mutations in severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy and infantile spasmsR H Wallace
Centre for Medical Genetics, Department of Laboratory Genetics, Women s and Children s Hospital, North Adelaide, Australia
Neurology 61:765-9. 2003..Infantile spasms (IS), or West syndrome, is a severe epileptic encephalopathy that is usually symptomatic. In some cases, no etiology is found and there is a family history of epilepsy...
SCARB2 mutations in progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) without renal failureL M Dibbens
Women s and Children s Hospital, North Adelaide, Australia
Ann Neurol 66:532-6. 2009..Additionally, we searched for mutations in the PRICKLE1 gene, newly recognized as a cause of PME mimicking ULD...
