TL;DR

In-silico analysis indicated that substitution of tryptophan with cysteine resulted in the loss of an intramolecular interaction, which may affect protein folding, and emphasizes that CLN8-related phenotype can include severe treatment-resistant psychosis and also provides a genotypic extension.

Efficacy of fenfluramine in a pediatric epilepsy patient with a pathogenic SV2A variant: A case report.

It is proposed that FFA's effectiveness stems from its ability to address two core pathologies of SV2A deficiency: correction of the excitatory/inhibitory imbalance by restoring inhibitory tone through its serotonergic mechanism, and mitigation of neuroinflammation, thereby stabilizing the neuronal network.
