Epilepsy Genetics & Channelopathies

Ion channels, precision medicine, and clinical cases

A comprehensive 30-slide module covering the genetics of epilepsy from first principles. Explore voltage-gated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels; GABA receptors; beyond-ion-channel mechanisms (mTOR, synaptic proteins); genotype-directed treatment; and two annotated clinical cases.

Mitochondrial Disease

Energy metabolism, heteroplasmy, syndromes, and management

A 30-slide clinically focused module covering mitochondrial pathophysiology, dual-genome genetics, heteroplasmy and tissue testing, classic syndromes (Leigh, MELAS, MERRF, LHON, KSS, POLG), treatable conditions (CoQ10 deficiency, PDH, TK2), management principles, multidisciplinary surveillance, and diagnostic pattern recognition with clinical cases.

Neuromuscular: Muscle Disorders

Dystrophinopathies, congenital myopathies, and Pompe disease

A 30-slide clinical module on pediatric muscle disease. DMD/BMD with the reading-frame rule and FDA-approved exon-skipping ASOs + gene therapy (delandistrogene). Congenital myopathies organized by histology (central core, multiminicore, nemaline, centronuclear) anchored by RYR1, NEB, ACTA1, MTM1. Pompe disease (GSD-II) with ERT and CRIM status. Two annotated clinical cases.

Neuromuscular: Anterior Horn & Peripheral Nerve

The floppy infant, SMA + DMT, and childhood neuropathies

A 30-slide clinical module on the motor unit. The floppy infant differential and bedside localization. SMA biology (SMN1/SMN2) and disease-modifying therapy in depth: nusinersen (intrathecal ASO), onasemnogene abeparvovec (AAV9 gene therapy), risdiplam (oral splice modifier), pre-symptomatic vs symptomatic outcomes. Childhood peripheral neuropathies: CMT1A, CMT1X, axonal CMT2, HNPP. Three annotated clinical cases.

Brain Malformations

Cortical development, migration disorders, midline anomalies, and posterior fossa

A 30-slide clinical module on pediatric brain malformations organized by the Barkovich classification: disorders of proliferation (microcephaly, megalencephaly, FCD, TSC), migration (lissencephaly, heterotopia), post-migrational (polymicrogyria, schizencephaly, cobblestone), midline (HPE, ACC), and posterior fossa (Dandy-Walker, Joubert). Five annotated cases covering microcephaly workup, lissencephaly diagnosis, somatic mosaicism, and prenatal counseling.

Pediatric Genetic Movement Disorders

Phenotype-first recognition, clinical heuristics, and precision therapeutics

A 30-slide clinically focused module organized by how patients present — the ataxic child, the dystonic child, the child with episodes, CP mimickers, and progressive features. Emphasizes pattern recognition, diagnostic heuristics, treatable conditions, and precision therapeutics from levodopa to gene therapy.
