Cell. Loss of PDR correlated with a worse mRS score at one year (2.8 versus 0.5, p = 0.038). Francisco Talavera, PharmD, PhD Adjunct Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy; Editor-in-Chief, Medscape Drug ReferenceDisclosure: Received salary from Medscape for employment. The 10-Hz posterior dominant rhythm is at times replaced by a notched waveform representing the partial fusion of two alpha waves, appearing as a 5-Hz theta activity. Peak individual alpha frequency qualifies as a stable neurophysiological trait marker in healthy younger and older adults. b Diagram of SynGAP protein. In CADD, each variant is assigned an evolutionary action (EA) score which correlates with loss of protein function [20]. Focal interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are sharply contoured transients that are distinct from and usually interrupt background activities. By contrast, more widespread central nervous system (CNS) derangements, such as those due to metabolic disturbances, usually produce generalized EEG abnormalities. Pathogenic variants in SYNGAP1. As an exploratory function, all traits within the standard clinical read were collected (background continuity, posterior dominant rhythm, symmetry and synchrony, interictal epileptiform discharges, ictal discharges, and other abnormalities not associated to epileptogenesis). Developmental correlations with posterior dominant rhythm (PDR). Heard TT, Ramgopal S, Picker J, Lincoln SA, Rotenberg A, Kothare SV. The distinction between these 2 patterns has no etiologic or prognostic significance. Pouwels R . 2020 Dec 1;22(6):739-751. doi: 10.1684/epd.2020.1218. Analysis of biomarkers revealed a trend toward a moderate positive correlation between visual-perceptual/fine motor/adaptive skills and language development, with posterior dominant rhythm on electroencephalogram (EEG), independent of age. 2002 Sep. 77(9):991-8. This has limited the number of potential time-points in a single individual that can be analyzed for all desired parameters, to establish comprehensive neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral trajectories. The posterior dominant rhythm (PDR) was the first oscillatory pattern noted in the EEG. Epub 2017 Nov 25. Terms and Conditions, The patient presented with a slowly progressive encephalopathy and myoclonic jerks when awake. Neuroimage. In patients examined after a first seizure, the presence of IEDs is associated with an approximately 2-fold increased likelihood of seizure recurrence. This is particularly true of centrotemporal spikes, which are associated with the syndrome of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS). When the patient is relaxed with eyes closed, the background is usually characterized by the posteriorly dominant alpha rhythm, also known simply as the posterior dominant rhythm. It divides into two or three branches, which enter the foramina on the posterior floor of the body of maxilla, runs into alveolar canals and provide the molar and premolar tooth and mucus membrane of maxillary air sinus. Relaxed wakefulness with eyes closed. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Clinical outcomes included modified Rankin scale (mRS) at one year. Repeat variants between this study and previously published variants represent separate, unique individuals to the best of our knowledge. M.S. There is often significant discordance between the localization of the polymorphic slowing and the corresponding lesion. g Age at which select developmental milestones occur in SYNGAP1 patient cohort. Yield of EEG monitoring in children with developmental disabilities is high. Frontal intermittent rhythmic delta activity (FIRDA) and generalized intermittent rhythmic delta activity (GIRDA) are usually associated with global cerebral dysfunction due to metabolic disarray. Posterior dominant rhythm. Generalized epileptiform abnormalities are common and may . Caffeine effects on resting-state arousal. 2012 Jul 2. 4ac). Garca-Morales I, Garca MT, Galn-Dvila L, Gmez-Escalonilla C, Saiz-Daz R, Martnez-Salio A. Targeted resequencing in epileptic encephalopathies identifies de novo mutations in CHD2 and SYNGAP1. The Posterior Dominant Rhythm Healthy adults typically manifest relatively low-amplitude, mixed-frequency background rhythms, also termed desynchronized. All material on this website is protected by copyright, Copyright 1994-2022 by WebMD LLC. The absence of interictal spikes with documented seizures suggests extratemporal epilepsy. Chronic periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges. Each of the 3 phases of these frontally predominant waves is longer in duration than the preceding phase. 1981 Jun. The SynGAP protein has a critical role in dendritic spine maturation and synaptic plasticity as described in mouse models of SYNGAP1 deficiency [5,6,7]. A relevant property of spectral measures is the alpha peak, which corresponds to the dominant alpha rhythm. Posterior alpha amplitude in most normal adults is in the range 15-50 V; alpha amplitudes recorded from frontal electrodes are lower. Photic stimulation at a higher frequency provokes spikes with a widespread field with the principal phase-reversal at 02. The most salient findings include a moderate correlation between developmental age equivalence in language and VP/FM development with the frequency of the posterior dominant rhythm. A-0002 DIP fusion in Stage IV chondropathies: a comparative study with versus without joint preparation; A-0005 Are fluoroscopic anteroposterior and lateral views sufficient for d This study was done to evaluate right-sided myoclonic jerks and aphasia in the setting of a urinary tract infection. The temporal trajectory of the PDR peak frequency may be a useful perioperative marker [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. 4d). First, most children in our study were found to have interictal epileptiform discharges. Automated EEG analysis: characterizing the posterior dominant rhythm. However, whether changes in EEG sleep architecture predict outcomes are unknown. The photic driving response is usually attenuated on the abnormal side. These GPEDS were recorded in a 17-year-old with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Only one patient was identified as having obstructive sleep apnea. Selim R Benbadis, MD Professor, Director of Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Tampa General Hospital, University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine 2001 Jun. Brenner RP. They are seen most frequently in the setting of acute unilateral lesions such as cerebral infarctions, encephalitis, or tumors. a Gross motor age equivalents plotted against chronological age. We investigated the pathogenicity of missense variants in our data set and in previously published data sets by using predictive algorithms CADD, PolyPhen2, PROVEAN, and SIFT. Any patient with a deleterious SYNGAP1 variant was eligible to participate. Furthermore, SYNGAP1 has a probability of loss of function intolerance (pLI) of 1.0 in ExAC, demonstrating a high probability that LoF variants cause a severe phenotype precluding inheritance of deleterious variants. 42(6):778-81. Slowing or absence of the posterior dominant rhythm (relative to chronologic age) was also a common manifestation on electroencephalograms (12 of 15). This region has a characteristic slow rhythm in infants that increases with age. Indexing the graded allocation of visuospatial attention using anticipatory alpha oscillations. An AP gradient is present if at any point in the . Tobacco smoking produces widespread dominant brain wave alpha frequency increases. Focal and/or lateralized polymorphic delta activity. All rights reserved. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. This EEG is from a 15-year-old boy with a history of complex partial seizures. Strabismus was present in over 60% of our patients with over 60% of those patients requiring corrective surgery. 3e). SynGAP-MUPP1-CaMKII synaptic complexes regulate p38 MAP kinase activity and NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic AMPA receptor potentiation. Thus, these data are exploratory and hypothesis generating. The neurophysiological changes associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) include an increase in low frequency activity, as measured with electroencephalography or magnetoencephalography (MEG). (PPTX 242 kb). . Would you like email updates of new search results? No other neurophysiology-development associations or correlations were identified. Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder was present in just under three quarters of our cohort, comparable with prior reports ranging from 50 to 80% [15, 16]. All neurodevelopmental data was reviewed by board-certified neurodevelopmental pediatricians (SV and SR). Because spikes and sharp waves occur rarely in the general populationthe incidence is about 1% in healthy adults and 3% in healthy children and somewhat higher in hospitalized patientswhen an EEG is performed in a patient in whom there is reasonably high suspicion that the patient had a seizure, the predictive value of IEDs is high. 2014;164A(12):315461. Foff EP, Taplinger D, Suski J, Lopes MB, Quigg M. Clin EEG Neurosci. The absence of IEDs in patients with generalized onset seizures is exceptional in children and unusual in adults. [Abstract]. These discharges often have an anterior-posterior phase gradient. Arch Neurol. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. [2] CAS official website and that any information you provide is encrypted EEG abnormalities included intermittent rhythmic delta activity (60%), slow or absent posterior dominant rhythm (87%), and epileptiform activity (93%), with generalized discharges being more common than focal. These data suggest that there might be loci within the SYNGAP1 gene that are prone to mutation. Second, while we have identified a small number of recurrent mutations in SYNGAP1, the vast majority are novel non-sense or frameshift variants confirming that patients variants must largely be loss of function. Background: Electrographic characteristics (extreme delta brush, posterior dominant rhythm and slow waves) may predict outcomes in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (NMDARE). Developmental and behavioral phenotypes of a SYNGAP1 cohort. Patient is a 4-year-old boy with seizures. Bancaud phenomenon is an uncommon finding in which there is unilateral failure of the PDR to attenuate with eye opening. 2007 Jul. Cookies policy. Posterior slow waves of youth punctuate the posterior rhythm in this normal EEG recorded from a 9-year-old girl. Privacy [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. The Z score of deviation from expected allelic frequency for missense mutations in SYNGAP1 is 7.15 (539.6 expected variants, 200 observed), again demonstrating intolerance for deleterious variants. 2d), followed by absence (4 of 15), then generalized tonic-clonic and atonic (three each), and finally two patients with focal onset seizures. Based on the date of submission in ClinVar compared to the date of publication for the corresponding paper, sixteen of these variants appear to be unique cases instead of repeated reports, with some variants being reported on multiple occasions in ClinVar. Electroencephalogram signatures of loss and recovery of consciousness from propofol. Dr. Yogindra Vasavada : Interpretation of pediatric EEG is a specialized field and help a neurologist find out any focal damage in brain area that causes secondary epilepsy. When PLEDs occur in patients with chronic lesions, significant metabolic derangement is often present. Ebersole JS, Pedley TA. For the majority of our subjects, there was a posterior prominence of these discharges. Gilmore PC, Brenner RP. Neuroscience. Husain AM, Mebust KA, Radtke RA. after anaesthetic-induced loss of consciousness. While the presence of IEDs in a routine EEG is often helpful in clinical decision making, the converse is not necessarily the case. Meanstandard deviation. In contrast to gross motor and VP/FM development, language skills trended toward a moderate positive correlation between age equivalence and chronological age (p=0.07) (Fig. EEG characteristics may help prognosticate in NMDARE. KL2 TR002381/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United States, UL1 TR002378/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United States. Am J Med Genet A. Evoked by wakeful eyelid closure, these oscillations dissipate over seconds during loss of arousal. Its basic components are a receptor, a sensory neuron, a center, a motor neuron, and an effector. Epub 2013 Oct 14. In addition, we specifically evaluated key developmental milestones in patients harboring deleterious SYNGAP1 variants: ages for sitting unaided, walking independently, saying first word, scribbling, and using utensils by parental report. Severity of encephalopathy was graded as mild (the presence of a posterior dominant rhythm), moderate (absence of posterior dominant rhythm but the presence of reactivity or spontaneous state changes), or severe (absence of posterior . Connecting occipital alpha band peak frequency, visual temporal resolution, and occipital GABA levels in healthy participants and hepatic encephalopathy patients. 2022, Received: EEG abnormalities and seizures in genetically diagnosed Fragile X syndrome. The second phase is positive in polarity and has the greatest amplitude. Periodic epileptiform discharges in hypoxic encephalopathy: BiPLEDs and GPEDs as a poor prognosis for survival. Westmoreland BF, Klass DW, Sharbrough FW. [4, 5] Seizures occur in more than 50% of cases of CPD in which no structural lesion is present. IEDs usually occur sporadically. Conclusions: Neurodevelopmental evaluation revealed impairment in all individuals, with gross motor function being the least affected. Recovery of consciousness and cognition after general anesthesia in humans. 1980 Dec. 21(6):647-53. A predominantly frontal, mildly simplified gyral pattern was present in one patient, and another had several small developmental venous anomalies (Additionalfile3: Figure S1). Note the irregularly irregular heart rate, consistent with atrial fibrillation. From this combined dataset, there are seventeen variants which have been reported in our cohort or in previous publications that have been reported in ClinVar. Eye opening or mental activity should attenuate the alpha rhythm. Its amplitude increases with eye closure and is believed to be a precursor of mature alpha rhythms. Epub 2018 Jan 31. Frequency asymmetry of sleep spindles associated with focal pathology. The field of the discharge extends into the parietal and occipital regions. Similarly, abnormal EEG patterns have been linked to a number of other genetically defined intellectual and developmental disorders [23,24,25]. 2015;167A(10):22317. Krapivinsky G, Medina I, Krapivinsky L, Gapon S, Clapham DE. A small amount of FIRDA, especially when it is restricted to drowsiness, can be a normal finding in elderly subjects. An EEG typical of the syndrome of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS). Duy PQ, Budimirovic DB. 2021. Oh JS, Manzerra P, Kennedy MB. c Example electroencephalogram containing rhythmic delta waves from patient with pathogenic SYNGAP1 variant. Slowly changing extra-axial lesions such as meningiomas tend to produce relatively subtle changes in the EEG. Furthermore, plotting PDR frequency versus chronological age in our cohort confirmed that there was no correlation. Ruby K, Falvey K, Kulesza RJ. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Select variables were tested for potential associations (by Fishers exact test) and correlations (by Pearsons correlations) to determine possible biomarkers of clinical utility in assessing severity, progression, or prognosis. Epileptiform transients such as spikes and sharp waves are the interictal marker of a patient with epilepsy and are the EEG signature of a seizure focus. In older individuals, prolonged and large amplitude sleep spindles are usually caused by medications, frequently benzodiazepines. 2009 Jun. In studies that rely on CT, a structural lesion was present in about two thirds of adult patients with CPD. Symmetry. Which EEG patterns are overread?. for cognitive domains of working memory, visuomotor speed, and executive function. Posterior dominant "alpha" rhythm: Specify frequency (to the nearest 0.5 Hz) or absence. Alpha activity is more prominent in amplitude during relaxed, eyes-closed wakefulness and demonstrates reactivity by decreasing in amplitude and presence during eye opening and mental alerting. Most blind patients with rare occipital spikes do not have seizures. A localized (lobar) or lateralized (hemispheric) ictal rhythm may not be present in up to 20% of patients. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Because these discharges were associated with a reversible neurologic deficit and time-locked to a focal movement, they were classified as an ictal pattern. Artifacts produced by electrode dysfunction can also resemble epileptiform discharges. Pathogenic SYNGAP1 mutations impair cognitive development by disrupting maturation of dendritic spine synapses. 3f). FIRDA is rarely due to a subcortical lesion or elevated intracranial pressure. J Biol Chem. Study of 100 patients with focal delta activity. [2] Nonepileptiform abnormalities are characterized by alterations in normal rhythms or by the appearance of abnormal ones. Ischemic stroke, hemorrhage, and tumors can all cause overlapping and occasionally indistinguishable EEG findings. 3rd ed. EEG. The presence of a normal reactive posterior dominant rhythm is indicative of a well-functioning brain and automatically rules out all sorts of pathology. 2015;303:28598. van der Knaap, J. Valk Magnetic Resonance of Myelination and Myelin Disorders Third Edition Marjo S. van der Knaap Jaap Valk. In the past, the identification of focal EEG abnormalities often played a key role in the diagnosis of superficial cerebral mass lesions. Fahoum F, Lopes R, Pittau F, Dubeau F, Gotman J. Ann Neurol. 3b); however, neither reached statistical significance. Like postictal CPD, the slowing in these settings would be expected to resolve on subsequent EEGs. Heterozygous deficiency of Syngap1 was shown to increase synaptic neurotransmission in mice and in cultured neurons treated with siRNAs [11]. [15] While BiPLEDs have been associated with herpes simplex encephalitis, the pattern can occur in other CNS infections as well. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Baylor College of Medicine. 1, Table1 and Additionalfile1: Table S1). Why Are Numbers of Women, Minorities So Low in Cardiac EP? Test-retest reliability of spectral parameters of the EEG. Like FIRDA, OIRDA can be a consequence of diffuse cerebral dysfunction and rarely a sign of increased intracranial pressure. The amplitudes of other frequency components of the background are increased as well, but to lesser extent. Unlike the case with FIRDA, there is often an interval between consecutive waveforms of this type. Regulation of the neuron-specific Ras GTPase-activating protein, synGAP, by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. While general motor strength was normal in these patients, significant ataxia was identified in 21%. 2016;530(7591):4814. Normal patients with closed eyes should have a background alpha rhythm which is predominant in the posterior leads. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. DH contributed to the clinical data analysis and manuscript revision. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content. Inference and conclusions regarding neurodevelopmental trajectories (progression, regression, or plateauing) are limited. When myoclonic jerks are present, they are time-locked to the periodic discharges. PMC In particular, frontal and parietal lesions often produce delta activity that is of highest amplitude and phase-reverses over the temporal regions. 2017;8:78. In clinical discussions the terms are often used interchangeably. 1999 Jan 1. 3c), while also demonstrating a trend toward mild to moderate negative correlation between developmental quotient and chronological age (p=0.1) (Fig. PLEDs in an elderly patient with an acute right middle cerebral artery infarction. What is focal polymorphic delta slowing on EEG? 2022 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Yildirim M, Konuskan B, Yalnizoglu D, Topaloglu H, Erol I, Anlar B. Pohlmann-Eden B, Hoch DB, Cochius JI, Chiappa KH. The frequency of the PDR is known to increase with development typically achieving the alpha range (812Hz) by 45years of age. Neurodevelopmental traits-global delay/disability must be analyzed considering the evolving nature of developmental test scoring. J Clin Neurophysiol. Most of the background shows the presence of theta waves . Accepted: JLH contributed to the project design, data collection and analysis, and manuscript drafting and revision. Patients were evaluated on one or several occasions over a 6-year period. Kim MJ, Dunah AW, Wang YT, Sheng M. Differential roles of NR2A- and NR2B-containing NMDA receptors in Ras-ERK signaling and AMPA receptor trafficking. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Mutations in SYNGAP1 cause intellectual disability, autism, and a specific form of epilepsy by inducing haploinsufficiency. Before Kim JH, Lee HK, Takamiya K, Huganir RL. It is most often encountered in drowsiness, where the wave-forms typically phase-reverse over the mid temporal regions. A posterior rhythm of approximately 4 Hz develops in babies in the first few months of age. 19(2):172-7. As a limiting case, in 2 series of patients studied in epilepsy monitoring units, IEDs were never identified in 4-19% of those in whom epileptic seizures were recorded. 2000 Aug. 41(8):1053-6. Reeves AL, Klass DW. In one population study, up to 40% of patients with centrotemporal spikes did not have seizures. Chao HT, Chen H, Samaco RC, Xue M, Chahrour M, Yoo J, et al. It may be most useful in future clinical studies to utilize age equivalents in measuring developmental progression in these individuals. Evoked by wakeful eyelid closure, these oscillations dissipate over seconds during Attenuation of faster activities can also be caused by an intervening fluid collection in the subgaleal, epidural, or subdural spaces. Norberto Alvarez, MD Assistant Professor, Department of Neurology, Harvard Medical School; Consulting Staff, Department of Neurology, Boston Children's Hospital; Medical Director, Wrentham Developmental Center Epileptiform activity was captured in fourteen of fifteen individuals with generalized discharges being more common than focal (Table1). The unilateral absence, decreased amplitude, or frequency of sleep spindles at any age is abnormal and is associated with ipsilateral lesions. There was no association between the presence of IRDA and severity of developmental disability in any domain (mild/moderate vs. severe/profound disability, p=0.235). Sleep abnormalities were reported in two thirds of our patients with insomnia manifested as nighttime awakenings being the predominant issue. Patients who had recently received sedation were more likely to lack a posterior dominant rhythm (absent in 27/27, 100%), compared to 7/10 (70%), of patients who had not recently received sedation ( 2 p=0.022). EEG alpha and theta oscillations reflect cognitive and memory performance: a review and analysis. Prior studies have linked neurophysiologic abnormalities to developmental outcomes such as in epileptic encephalopathies and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) [16]. The incidence of coma is higher in BiPLEDs than in PLEDs (72% vs 24%) and the mortality rate is higher (61% vs 29%).

Some trends began to emerge in the genetic architecture of pathogenic variants in SYNGAP1. 2014;24(12):20508. In the combined missense variant data set from all sources (ClinVar, previous publications, and our data), thirteen out of twenty variants had an EA score close to or above 80, strongly suggesting deleterious impact on protein function (Additionalfile1: Table S1). Only three of fifteen individuals in our cohort achieved an alpha frequency of their PDR despite most having an EEG after their fourth birthday (11 of 15). Nine patients (6 females) (range 1.9-16.7 years) were included. The generation and propagation of the human alpha rhythm. The Gesell developmental schedules: Arnold Gesell (1880-1961).

[QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Loss of normal PDR, absence of sleep architecture, and epileptiform discharges are associated with worse outcomes at one year which has not been reported before. Mean age at genetic diagnosis was 65.9months (28174months). Self-injurious behavior of any nature was reported in a third of our cohort, described most frequently as biting oneself. IEDs are almost always of negative polarity at the scalp surface. Parker MJ, Fryer AE, Shears DJ, Lachlan KL, McKee SA, Magee AC, et al. J.
