Excited to share our new preprint!!
Optimizing clinical interpretability of functional evidence in #epilepsy-related ion channel variants
@IngoHelbig@nupharm1
🧵 Thread below! 👇 (1/n)
So, we have curated functional data on 100s of ion channel variants...
...and defined how these mathematically fit into variant interpretation
We hope this can be a meaningful addition for #genetic#diagnosis for more individuals with an #epilepsy-related #channelopathy! (7/7)
Our new preprint on #STXBP1 is now online!
Delineating clinical and developmental outcomes in STXBP1-related disorders
A huge thank you to @IngoHelbig and team

Here is a brief thread...
Today, Alicia Harrison presented her exciting genetic counseling thesis work on #DNM1-related disorders! Assessment of clinical/phenotypic data across >70 individuals with this ultra-rare #genetic#epilepsy@IngoHelbig @SarahRuggieroGC @KimThalwitzer @CHOPDBHi @AliciaH30833263
Delineating such subgroups can aid in clinical guidance...
...e.g., those with exon 10a variants have higher rates of refractory epilepsy, severe developmental delay, and cortical visual impairment...
...and nearly 70% of these individuals achieve some level of speech
