OBJECTIVE: The Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEE) are associated with serious and life-long neurological conditions and risk of early mortality. Here we describe the chronic treatment of a boy with PLCB1-related DEE with enteral myo-inositol supplementation as an add-on therapy to standard antiseizure medications that had been ineffective, and present novel findings in our lethal Slc5a3 knockout mouse model to substantiate our hypothesis for a novel role of myo-inositol in...

Nizon-Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7-year-old female who presented with developmental delay, right-leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin pigmentation, sectoral iris hypopigmentation, dysphagia, periventricular nodular heterotopia, seizures, morbid obesity, and a pelvic kidney. Genome sequencing (GS)...
