ALT "This pilot study tested a two-week immersive experience where small teams of basic scientists shadowed clinicians during their work at hospitals around the world. Questionnaires showed high satisfaction among both groups. Results support expanding such training, with the backing of the ILAE and aligned centers, to build understanding, interest, and long-term commitment, ensuring bench research is informed by and translates to clinical practice and improved quality of life for patients."

ALT "The combined presence of Y-chromosomal material in females, mosaic Y-chromosome gains in males, and SLC35A2 variants represents a recurrent genomic feature in patients with MOGHE. These findings suggest that sex-chromosome anomalies may contribute to the pathobiology of this epilepsy-associated cortical malformation, highlighting the need to clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms of this clinicohistopathologic entity. Although the root cause, biological consequence, and clinical significance of brain somatic Y-chromosomal gain remain to be further clarified, our findings identify a previously unrecognized genomic feature of MOGHE and provide a rationale for future research in MOGHE cohorts."
