While some individuals respond well to first-line ASMs, others are more refractory to treatment. There is currently no evidence that seizures respond better to one specific ASM.

Repeat EEG as appropriate when seizure frequency increases or when seizures of new symptomatology occur. Repeat brain MRI with a higher-resolution technique in individuals with treatment-resistant seizures whose first brain MRI was normal to rule out subtle cortical dysplasia.</p><p><i>Evaluation of relatives at risk:</i> It is appropriate to clarify the genetic status of apparently asymptomatic older and younger at-risk relatives of an affected individual in order to identify those who are at risk for developing seizures as early as possible. This typically entails targeted <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/molecular-genetic-testing/">molecular genetic testing</a> for the known <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/pathogenic-variant/">pathogenic variant</a>(s) in the family.</p><p><i>Pregnancy management:</i> Pregnant women should receive counseling regarding the risks and benefits of using ASM during pregnancy; the advantages and disadvantages of increasing maternal periconceptional folic acid supplementation to 4,000 &#x000b5;g daily; the effects of pregnancy on ASM metabolism; and the effect of pregnancy on maternal seizure control.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p><i>DEPDC5</i>-related epilepsy is an <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-dominant/">autosomal dominant</a> disorder; however, affected individuals with <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/germline/">germline</a> <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/missense/">missense</a> variants have been rarely reported.

However, exposure to ASMs may increase the risk for adverse fetal outcome (depending on the drug used, the dose, and the stage of pregnancy at which the medication is taken). Nevertheless, the risk of an adverse outcome to the fetus from ASM exposure is often less than that associated with exposure to an untreated maternal seizure disorder. Therefore, ASM to treat a maternal seizure disorder during pregnancy is typically recommended. Discussion of the risks and benefits of using a given ASM during pregnancy should ideally take place prior to conception.

DEPDC5 acts as a GTPase-activating protein for RagA/B and, together with NPRL2 and NPRL3, is part of the GATOR1 complex that inhibits the mechanistic target of the rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway in response to low amino acid cellular levels [<a class="bk_pop" href="#depdc5-epilepsy.REF.barpeled.2013.1100">Bar-Peled et al 2013</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#depdc5-epilepsy.REF.panchaud.2013.ra42">Panchaud et al 2013</a>].
