Genomic sequencing in severe epilepsy: a step closer to precision medicine
ABSTRACT Introduction: The large number of different syndromes and seizure types, together with an inter-individual variable response to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), makes the treatment of epilepsy challenging. Areas covered: Early infantile Epileptic encephalopathies (EIEE) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders consisting of early-onset refractory seizures often accompanied by important developmental delay or regression. The last two decades have seen major advancement in the diagnosis of epilepsy thanks both to modern neuroimaging but, primarily, to new methods in molecular genetics and gene sequencing. The application of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques has already helped to understand the genetic diversity and underlying pathogenic mechanisms in severe epilepsy of childhood. Furthermore, the use of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in parent–offspring trios has also helped to identify de novo mutations in patients with EIEE. Tailored treatments are already applicable in some monogenic epilepsy, but these are a minority of cases. Expert commentary: In our opinion, the future of epilepsy treatment will be multidisciplinary and possibly very different from the currently almost empiric approach and we are confident that a ‘precision medicine’ will be applicable on large scale.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Precision Medicine and Drug Development publishes primarily review articles covering the development and clinical application of medicine to be used in a personalized therapy setting; in addition, the journal also publishes original research and commentary-style articles. In an era where medicine is recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always appropriate, it has become necessary to identify patients responsive to treatments and treat patient populations using a tailored approach. Areas covered include: Development and application of drugs targeted to specific genotypes and populations, as well as advanced diagnostic technologies and significant biomarkers that aid in this. Clinical trials and case studies within personalized therapy and drug development. Screening, prediction and prevention of disease, prediction of adverse events, treatment monitoring, effects of metabolomics and microbiomics on treatment. Secondary population research, genome-wide association studies, disease–gene association studies, personal genome technologies. Ethical and cost–benefit issues, the impact to healthcare and business infrastructure, and regulatory issues.
