This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of NGS in pediatric epilepsy patients as a whole and to present the data obtained in the whole exome sequence analysis. We enrolled 40 children with suspected childhood epilepsy in this study. All patients underwent evaluation by a clinical geneticist or pediatric neurologist and the molecular genetic analysis of those children was performed by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Out of the 40 patients, 12 (30%) received a genetic diagnosis, involving 14 mutations across 13 genes. The cumulative positive diagnostic yield was 30%. Twelve of these patients were identified to have 5 variants previously documented as pathogenic, 9 variants classified as likely pathogenic, and 5 novel variants that have not been reported before. The outcomes indicate that whole-exome sequencing offers great benefits in clinical patient diagnosis, particularly in terms of detecting diagnostic variants. This study underscored the significance of whole exome sequencing (WES) studies, where only a broad gene set is examined in epilepsy patients. This approach has the potential to establish gene-specific phenotypic profiles, particularly by uncovering novel candidate genes in epilepsy patients with well-defined phenotypes. Additionally, conducting validation studies on variants of uncertain clinical significance could enhance the outcome yield.</p>","PeriodicalId":16491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurogenetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142801143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that the initial convergence angle was lower for more distant prey, suggesting that they are able to gauge distance to the prey via monocular cues. We investigated blur as a possible monocular cue, and found that by artificially blurring the stimulus, we were able to reduce initial convergence and strike probability.

Egg-laying has been studied since the dawn of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> as a model organism. The female's internal state, hormones, and external factors, such as nutrition, light, and social environment, affect egg-laying output. However, only recently, neurobiological features of egg-laying behavior have been studied in detail. <i>fruitless</i> and <i>doublesex</i>, two key players in the sex determination pathway, have become focal points in identifying neurons of reproductive significance in both central and peripheral nervous systems. The reproductive tract and external terminalia house sensory neurons that carry the sensory information of egg maturation, mating and egg-laying. These sensory signals include the presence of male accessory gland products and mechanical stimuli. The abdominal neuromere houses neurons that receive information from the reproductive tract, including sex peptide abdominal ganglion neurons (SAGs), and send their information to the brain. In the brain, neuronal groups like aDNs and pC1 clusters modulate egg-laying decision-making, and other neurons like oviINs and oviDNs are necessary for egg-laying itself. Lastly, motor neurons involved in egg-laying, which are mostly octopaminergic, reside in the abdominal neuromere and orchestrate the muscle movements required for laying the egg. Egg-laying neuronal control is important in various evolutionary processes like cryptic female choice, and using different <i>Drosophila</i> species can provide intriguing avenues for the future of the field.</p>","PeriodicalId":16491,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurogenetics","volume":" ","pages":"47-61"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142154399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
