Dr. Ann Poduri, a neurologist here at Boston Children’s Hospital, spoke about her epilepsy research at Fenway High School today in Boston as part of Massachusetts STEM Week! The kids learned about genetics and heredity, how genes can help provide answers to families, & more! 👏

Genetic diagnoses were identified for 43% of infants with new-onset epilepsy through rapid whole genome sequencing, with a median time from seizure-onset to diagnosis of 37 days.

Clinical utility documented for 98% of infants with new genetic diagnoses, including directly informing treatment in 56% of cases. These findings point to the feasibility and utility of rapid genome sequencing implementation for new-onset epilepsies in infants.

In a review of 154 studies and a practice guideline, @Beth12518007 & Lacey Smith conclude that genome or exome #sequencing should now be viewed as first-line tests for unexplained #epilepsy. ms.spr.ly/6012eo6RK cc @BCH_PoduriLab

Replying to @BCH_PoduriLab
@BCH_PoduriLab’s Lacey Smith giving her Skills Workshop in variant testing in the epilepsies at #AES2022 @DrDaniAndrade @AmEpilepsySoc
Replying to @IngoHelbig
@IngoHelbig kicking off the very last #AES2022 session. #Genetic testing in epilepsies in peds. Then Lacy Smith will talk about details of genetic testing interpretation. I’ll finish up talking about 🧬 test in adults!

Our own Lacey Smith and colleagues have published the first practice guideline for genetic testing in the epilepsies. There are now formal recommendations that include broad-based testing for all individuals with unexplained epilepsy! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/jgc4.1646
