Real-world clinical utility of exome sequencing in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy: Experience from a tertiary center in Thailand.

BACKGROUND Genomic testing has increasingly contributed to the diagnosis and management of pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), particularly in patients with suspected genetic etiologies. This study evaluated the diagnostic yield and real- world clinical utility of whole-exome sequencing (WES) in children with DRE....

Genetic landscape of pediatric seizures in Southeast China: identification of a novel GLI3 frameshift variant through whole-exome sequencing

Functional analysis of all 65 variants revealed that ion channel genes and neurodevelopmental genes were the most frequently affected categories, and whole-exome sequencing identified clinically relevant genetic findings in a subset of Southeast Chinese children with seizure disorders.

Clinical and genetic spectrum of dual rare genetic diseases revealed by whole-exome sequencing in 14 pediatric patients

Dual molecular diagnoses, defined as the coexistence of pathogenic variants in two distinct disease-causing genes, challenge the traditional single-gene model of Mendelian inheritance. With the advent of whole-exome sequencing (WES), such complex genotypes are increasingly recognized. To investigate the clinical and ge...

Rare genetic variation in adults with surgically treated temporal lobe epilepsy: An exome sequencing study

The results suggest that single‐gene causes are rare in adults with TLE, consistent with previous reports indicating a low diagnostic yield of presurgical genetic testing and further support a predominantly polygenic architecture of TLE.
