However, high false-positive (FP) rates and a false-negative (FN) case show that the Dutch TT1 NBS protocol is suboptimal. In search of optimization options, we evaluated the protocols used by o...
peer reviewed / ATP1A2 and CACNA1A genes encode proteins forming transmembrane channels, Na+/K+/ATPase transporter and voltage-gated calcium channel, respectively. Pathogenic variants in these genes are associated with hemiplegic migraines, movement disorders and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. CASE REPORT: We report a child presenting ...

peer reviewed / Stride velocity 95th centile (SV95C) is a wearable-derived endpoint representing the 5% fastest strides taken during everyday living. In July 2023, SV95C received European Medicines Agency (EMA) qualification for use as a primary endpoint in trials of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) aged ≥ 4 years-becoming the first ...
peer reviewed / OBJECTIVE: Few studies have evaluated the efficacy of antiseizure medications (ASMs) according to the etiology of neonatal acute provoked seizures. We aimed to investigate the response to ASMs in term/near term neonates with acute arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), as well as the type of seizure at presentation and the monitoring appro...

peer reviewed / Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) commonly show specific cognitive deficits in addition to a severe muscle impairment caused by the absence of dystrophin expression in skeletal muscle. These cognitive deficits have been related to the absence of dystrophin in specific regions of the central nervous system, notably cere...
