Delighted to share this out today in Lancet Neurology! Evaluation of the feasibility, diagnostic yield, and clinical utility of rapid genome sequencing in infantile epilepsy (Gene-STEPS): an international, multicentre, pilot cohort study - thelancet.com/journals/laneu…

"Without that early intervention, I don't know where Levi would be today," mum Karsha told Herald Sun. Murdoch Children's has co-led #research into rapid genome sequencing and infantile #epilepsy, providing critical answers to families. @DrKBhowell #raredisease #neuroscience

“That’s the whole point of the Voice – so we can hear from Aboriginal people about decisions that are going to affect them!” explains Rueben Berg ahead of a Yes23 doorknocking event.

Focal structural causes of infantile spasms are common, and epilepsy surgery can improve outcomes. We (first author emma macdonald-laurs , also @aaewarren , Dr Sarah Stephenson , others) write a review paper on surgically-remediable IESS, with useful clinical tips... tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
