Objective: The Education and Career Task Force of the Young Epilepsy Section-Italy focuses on educational and career development needs of young Italian epileptologists. Two surveys were developed (pre- and post COVID-19 pandemic) in order to identify the needs of members of the Lega Italiana Contro l'Epilessia under 40 years of age.
Methods: The first was distributed during the 42nd National Congress (Rome, June 5-7, 2019); the second during the 45th National Congress (Padova, June 8-10, 2022) and subsequently by e-mail until July 9, 2022.
Article Synopsis
- GRIN-related disorders are rare developmental conditions in children caused by genetic variants, which often lead to various cognitive and behavioral challenges with few treatment options available.
- A non-randomized phase 2A trial tested L-serine as a potential treatment for these disorders in children aged 2-18, measuring its safety and efficacy over a 52-week period using several behavioral and cognitive assessment tools.
- Twenty-four participants were included in the study, showing improvements in specific skill areas, particularly in children with milder impairments, demonstrating promise for L-serine as a therapeutic option for those with GRIN genetic variants.
