What is this SYNGAP1 illness / disease / syndrome / NDD / DEE / MRD5 / NSID actually called?  #S10e133
A. MRD5 - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/medgen/382611  B. SYNGAP1 NSID - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21237447/ (Hamdan, 2011) C.

SYNGAP1 Syndrome - ICD-11  - https://twitter.com/cureSYNGAP1/status/1730629792137883800 (2024) My vote (today) is that we have a disease that is a DEE called SYNGAP1 Related Disorders (SRD). These monogenic disorders are anything but monolithic. Disease vs. Syndrome, read this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1480257/ (Cavalo, 2003) A syndrome is a recognizable complex of symptoms and physical findings which indicate a specific condition for which a direct cause is not necessarily understood...Once medical science identifies a causative agent or process with a fairly high degree of certainty, physicians may then refer to the process as a disease, not a syndrome. NDD vs DEE - We are a DEE “Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) encompass highly prevalent conditions such as autism and epilepsy, with cognitive disabilities alone affecting 1-3% of the global population. Developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are NDD characterized by epilepsy and delayed development or loss of developmental skills. Although the prevalence of DEEs remains to be determined, studies estimate that single-gene epilepsies occur in around 1 in 2100 births annually.” https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-12-neurodevelopmental-epilepsy-disorder-genetic.html Give all three of our podcasts 5 stars everywhere.   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/syngap1-podcasts-by-srf/id6464522917  This is a podcast subscribe! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/syngap10-weekly-10-minute-updates-on-syngap1/id1560389818  Episode 133 of #Syngap10 - Feb 13, 2024 #epilepsy #autism #intellectualdisability #id #anxiety #raredisease #epilepsyawareness #autismawareness #rarediseaseresearch #SynGAPResearchFund #CareAboutRare #PatientAdvocacy #GCchat #Neurology #GeneChat

SYNGAP1 is complex, we need to partner with our clinicians to improve care & get ready for repurposing.    #S10e131   Three patient stories… with the same conclusion, we don’t know enough about this disease.   - VNS, very few meds.  If that is appealing, look for the VNS parents. www.facebook.com/groups/syngap1vns/ - Little lady on Kepra finally getting a new drug. - Big man getting really odd care, based on EEG   These kids are so complicated and the system is just not ready.  We can help by supporting the studies I mentioned in #S10e128   1 - NEW!!!
