    Background Genetic generalised epilepsy is the most common type of inherited epilepsy. Despite a high concordance rate of 80\% in monozygotic twins, the genetic background is still poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the burden of rare genetic variants in genetic generalised epilepsy. Methods For this exome-based case-control study, we used three different genetic generalised epilepsy case cohorts and three independent control cohorts, all of European descent. Cases included in the study were clinically evaluated for genetic generalised epilepsy. Whole-exome sequencing was done for the discovery case cohort, a validation case cohort, and two independent control cohorts. The replication case cohort underwent targeted next-generation sequencing of the 19 known genes encoding subunits of GABA(A) receptors and was compared to the respective GABA(A) receptor variants of a third independent control cohort. Functional investigations were done with automated two-microelectrode voltage clamping in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Findings Statistical comparison of 152 familial index cases with genetic generalised epilepsy in the discovery cohort to 549 ethnically matched controls suggested an enrichment of rare missense (Nonsyn) variants in the ensemble of 19 genes encoding GABA(A) receptors in cases (odds ratio {[}OR] 2.40 {[}95\% CI 1.41-4.10]

    ObjectiveTo investigate the possible subgroups of patients with Cluster Headache (CH) by using K-means cluster analysis. MethodsA total of 209 individuals (mean (SD) age: 39.8 (11.3) years), diagnosed with CH by headache experts, participated in this cross-sectional multi-center study. All patients completed a semi-structured survey either face to face, preferably, or through phone interviews with a physician. The survey was composed of questions that addressed sociodemographic characteristics as well as detailed clinical features and treatment experiences. ResultsCluster analysis revealed two subgroups. Cluster one patients (n = 81) had younger age at diagnosis (31.04 (9.68) vs. 35.05 (11.02) years

    Identification of epilepsy related pathways using genome-wide DNA methylation measures: A trio-based approach
    (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-01-01) Ozdemir, Ozkan; Egemen, Ece; Iseri, Sibel Aylin Ugur; Sezerman, Osman Ugur; Bebek, Nerses; Baykan, Betul; Ozbek, Ugur
    Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE) are genetically determined, as their name implies and they are clinically characterized by generalized seizures involving both sides of the brain in the absence of detectable brain lesions or other known causes. GGEs are yet complex and are influenced by many different genetic and environmental factors. Methylation specific epigenetic marks are one of the players of the complex epileptogenesis scenario leading to GGE. In this study, we have set out to perform genome-wide methylation profiling to analyze GGE trios each consisting of an affected parent-offspring couple along with an unaffected parent. We have developed a novel scoring scheme within trios to categorize each locus analyzed as hypo or hypermethylated. This stringent approach classified differentially methylated genes in each trio and helped us to produce trio specific and pooled gene lists with inherited and aberrant methylation levels. In order to analyze the methylation differences from a boarder perspective, we performed enrichment analysis with these lists using the PANOGA software. This collective effort has led us to detect pathways associated with the GGE phenotype, including the neurotrophin signaling pathway. We have demonstrated a trio based approach to genome-wide DNA methylation analysis that identified individual and possibly minor changes in methylation marks that could be involved in epileptogenesis leading to GGE.

    The characteristics of COVID-19 vaccine-related headache: Clues gathered from the healthcare personnel in the pandemic
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2022-01-01) Ekizoglu, Esme; Gezegen, Hasim; Yalinay Dikmen, Pinar; Orhan, Elif Kocasoy; Ertas, Mustafa; Baykan, Betul
    Introduction Headache is a frequent adverse event after viral vaccines. We aimed to investigate the frequency and clinical associations of COVID-19 vaccine-related headache. Methods The characteristics, associations of this headache, main comorbidities, headache history following the influenza vaccine and during COVID-19 were investigated using a web-based questionnaire. Results A total of 1819 healthcare personnel (mean age: 44.4 +/- 13.4 years, 1222 females), vaccinated with inactivated virus, contributed to the survey
