“…Malformations of brain development and focal cortical dysplasias are also common pathologies in infants with WS, which have been linked with abnormal expression of components of the mTOR signaling: TSC1 or TSC2 in Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), PTEN in hemimegalencephaly, STRADα in polyhydramnios, megalencephaly and symptomatic epilepsy syndrome (PMSE), and overexpression of phosphorylated S6 ribosomal protein (pS6) in focal cortical dysplasias type IIB (Baybis, Yu, Lee, Golden, Weiner, McKhann et al 2004, Chu-Shore, Major, Camposano, Muzykewicz & Thiele 2010, Orlova, Parker, Heuer, Tsai, Yoon, Baybis et al 2010, Galanopoulou, Gorter & Cepeda 2012, Epi4K. Consortium, Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project, Allen, Berkovic, Cossette, Delanty et al 2013, Lim & Crino 2013, Pardo, Nabbout & Galanopoulou 2014). Among the acquired pathologies leading to IS, hypoxic–ischemic injury, CNS infections, perinatal strokes, metabolic disorders, or autoimmune conditions may also manifest inflammatory changes [(Mota, Rezkallah-Iwasso, Peracoli & Montelli 1984, Steele, Cheah, Veerapandiyan, Gallentine, Smith & Mikati 2012) and reviewed in (Pardo, Nabbout & Galanopoulou 2014)].…”
