Gene therapy in status epilepticus
@article{Walker2013GeneTI, title={Gene therapy in status epilepticus}, author={Matthew C. Walker and Stephanie Schorge and Dimitri Michael Kullmann and Robert C. Wykes and Joost H. Heeroma and Laura Mantoan}, journal={Epilepsia}, year={2013}, volume={54} }
Gene therapy in human disease has expanded rapidly in recent years with the development of safer and more effective viral vectors, and presents a novel approach to the treatment of epilepsy. Studies in animals models have demonstrated that overexpression of inhibitory peptides can modify seizure threshold, prevent the development of epilepsy, and modify established epilepsy. More recently there has been a flurry of studies using optogenetics in which light‐activated channels expressed in…

A sustained effort is proposed to be made to formulate a complete set of ethicoscientific criteria to guide the development and clinical application of gene therapy techniques, which could go a long way toward ensuring that gene therapy is used in humans only in those instances where it will prove beneficial, and toward preventing its misuse through premature application.
