3 Advances in genetic methods to study neurodevelopmental disorders Karyotyping and FISH (Florescent in situ Hybridization) 3-5 million BPs Chromosomal Microarray 100 Kb Abrahams and Geschwind 2009 Whole exome or genome sequencing Analysis at the level of single base pair Chromosomal abnormalities > 15% of cases of ID Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) De novo CNV s in 20% of ASD >700 causative genes identified
4 Recommended testing Genetic testing is the only routinely recommended medical workup for individuals with ASD --Chromosomal microarray --Boys: Fragile X --Girls: MECP2 testing Modified from Schaefer et al, 2013
5 >30% of ID/ASD have an identified genetic cause ID/ASD affect reproductive fitness -Inherited mutations likely underlie milder forms of ASD/ID -Rare de novo mutations likely underlie more severe forms Vessers, Nature Rev Genetics, 2016

9 Outline (1) Genetics (2) Epilepsy and regression (3) Insomnia Diagnosis and definitions Cause Clinical considerations Treatment
10 Epilepsy: What is it and how is it diagnosed? More than one unprovoked seizure in a lifetime Diagnosed by clinical events and also by EEG (electroencephalogram) EEG picks up brain activity (firing of neurons) at the surface of the scalp
11 Epidemiology of epilepsy in ASD Known since the first reported case of autism Abnormal EEG s reported in up to 50% Prevalence of epilepsy in ASD approximately 20% Prevalence increases with age No primary seizure type defined Jeste SS and Tuchman R, 2015 Viscidi et al, 2013
12 Epidemiology of ASD in epilepsy Largest cohort study of epilepsy (64,188), odds ratio of having ASD was 22.2 Rate of ASD in epilepsy is 5%, but when prospective screening for development performed in patients with epilepsy, rates of neurodevelopmental disorders >60% Berg, 2011; Geerts, 2011; Selassie 2014
13 Jeste SS and Geschwind DH, 2013
14 Jeste and Tuchman, 2015
15 Clear link to intellectual disability Double the rate of epilepsy in children with ASD/ID More common in girls Related to greater autism severity, poorer adaptive function Amiet et al, 2008, Bolton et al, 2011
16 Mortality data in ASD from California Department of Developmental Disabilities Services Mortality 5-6x higher in those with ASD plus epilepsy than ASD alone (but still much less than epilepsy alone which was 15x higher) Led to an initiative between Autism Speaks and International League Against Epilepsy
17 Isolated EEG abnormalities RATES VARIABLE: 21-60% depending on type of EEG and sample studied Spikes do not cause autism Buckley, 2016
18 Authors Rates Notes Tuchman & Rapin, % (68% in epilepsy, 13% without) Most well cited study: 392 kids Tuchman et al, % 24 hour EEG: No seizures but language regression Kim et al, % 24 hour EEG: Suspicion of seizures but found not to have them Chez et al, % 24 hour EEG: No history or suspicion of seizures
19 Neurobiological convergence of ASD informed by genetics: Genes can be grouped into: --activity dependent protein synthesis --neuronal activity --neuronal cell adhesion --Abnormal brain growth --Disordered cortical organization --Disturbed brain connectivity --E/I Imbalance
20 Developmental disconnection Geschwind DH and Levitt P, 2007.

22 Epileptic Encephalopathies Landau Kleffner Syndrome (LKS) Continuous Spike and Wave in Slow Wave Sleep (CSWS) Electrical Status Epilepticus of Sleep (ESES)
23 Regressions related to autism Regression: Loss of skills after having normal development in the first 1-2 years of life (Lainhart, 2002) Based on type of study, rates range from 12-50% Most studies are based on parent report of skill loss, but some studies of home videos (Baird, 2008; Lord, 2004; Bernabei, 2007; Werner, 2005) Question of whether development is truly typical in the first year of life (Werner, 2005) Variable reports on whether ASD-R is related to greater clinical impairment due to differences in sample size and population being studied (Rogers 2004 ; Stefanatos 2008.Matson and Kozlowski 2010)
24 85 articles, 29,035 individuals Lack of standardized operational definition of regression, most used the ADI-R Overall rate of regression 32.1% Parent reported studies (40.8%) show higher rates than population studies (21.8%) Mean age of onset: 1.8 years Parents of older children reported older age of regression Greater risk in autism vs. ASD or Asperger s Barger, JADD 2013
25 Comparisons for Diagnosis Landau Kleffner Syndrome Autistic Regression Age of Onset: After age 3 Age of Onset: months Loss of language is dramatic. Loss of fully developed language Behavioral Profile: regression primarily affects language. Behavioral abnormalities much less pervasive. EEG: Frequent temporal parietal spikes strikingly activated in SWS with pattern of ESES Loss of language: clinically subtle: loss of single words, decreased gestures. Behavioral Profile: regression affects social communication, repetitive behaviors, and language EEG: Centrotemporal spikes and are infrequent and intermittent Jeste, Tuchman, 2015
26 ASD/epilepsy: Recommended Workup AAN and AAP guidelines do not recommend routine EEG for children with ASD (2000) Obtain prolonged sleep deprived EEG if: Evidence of clinical seizures History of developmental regression especially in toddlers and preschoolers Situations with high index of suspicion that epilepsy could be present (Known genetic syndrome that confers a high risk for epilepsy)
27 Epilepsy: Treatment Because of the tremendous heterogeneity in seizure type, there is not one gold standard treatment for epilepsy in ASD Early recognition and treatment important Anti-epileptics (anti-seizure medications) Leviteracitam: can cause behavioral side effects Valproic acid: have to monitor liver function Benzodiazepenes: can cause drowsiness Lamotrigine: can cause a serious rash (Steven Johnson syndrome)

30 Swick TJ. Neurology Clinics. 2005
31 Biology of sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm) Regulated by: Excitatory neurotransmitters (Ach, histamine, dopamine, glutamate, norepinephrine, serotonin Inhibitory neurotransmitters (GABA) Changes in light and dark (melatonin) Dopamine-Opiate system (requires iron as a cofactor for proper functioning) Blackmer, 2016
32 Diagnosis of sleep impairment Gold standard for identifying sleep problems is overnight sleep study Polysomnogram (PSG): records EEG, eye movements, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygenation, respirations Actigraphy monitors movements and circadian rhythms Can be challenging in children with ASD!
33 Questionnaire Ages Format Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), toddlers and preschoolers Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children Family Inventory of Sleep Habits Behavioral Evaluation of Disorders of Sleep Scale Ages 4-10 and Behavior over past 6 months in ages 5-15 Ages 3-10 Ages items in 8 subscales (bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night awakenings, daytime sleepiness) 26 items in 6 subscales: sleep initiation and maintenance, daytime sleepiness, sleep disordered breathing 12 items including daytime and prebedtime habits, bedtime routine, sleep environment 5 types of sleep problems: expressive sleep disturbances, sensitivity to the environment, disoriented awakening, sleep facilitators, apnea/bruxism BAERS Ages items into 5 subscales: going to bed, falling asleep, awakening, reinitiating sleep, wakefulness
34 Insomnia occurs in up to 80% of children with ASD Difficulty getting to sleep Frequent night awakenings ( Fragmented sleep ) Early morning awakenings Decreased need for sleep Daytime sleepiness and irritability Insomnia associated with behavioral and cognitive disturbances Medications prescribed >40% of cases Accardo, 2015; Malow, 2012; Malow 2016
35 Sleep impairment = insomnia (inability to sleep) Behavioral assessments Actigraphy Repeated episodes of difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep Night awakenings Early morning awakenings Decreased need for sleep Challenges with limit setting around bedtimes Prolonged sleep onset time (go to bed later) Longer sleep latency (take longer to fall asleep) Early awakening Frequent arousals and sleep fragmentation Increased duration of stage 1 sleep Decreased and abnormal non- REM sleep (stages 2-4)
36 Restless Leg Syndrome/Periodic Limb Movements No systematic studies looking at prevalence of RLS/PLMD Iron deficiency is established cause of RLS/PLMD Low ferritin levels in 12/23 children with ASD (Latif, 2002) Oral iron supplementation (6 mg/kg elemental iron for 8 week open treatment trial) in children with ASD
37 Insomnia: Clinical characteristics Children with ASD and sleep impairment have more comorbid behavioral and cognitive disturbances Other associated features: younger age, hypersensitivity, cosleeping, epilepsy, ADHD, asthma, family history of sleep problems Good sleepers show less: affective problems, inattention/hyperactivity, restricted/repetitive behaviors and better social interaction than bad sleepers. Accardo, 2015; Malow, 2012; Malow 2016
38 Etiology of sleep impairment GABA Activation of GABA A receptors promotes sleep Interneurons using GABA may be disrupted in ASD GABA related genes on 15q (such as Dup15q syndrome) have shown autism like phenotype Saper, 2005; Levitt et al, 2004, Eagleson et al, 2010)
39 Etiology of sleep impairment Melatonin Melatonin is a neurohormone that is a robust biochemical signal of night and regulates the circadian rhythm Tordjman S et al, 2005.
40 Etiology of sleep impairment Ignore environmental cues that help entrain the sleep/wake circadian system Perseverate on activities or thoughts that interfere with sleep onset Communication limitations in understanding parents expectations for bedtime Hypersensitivities may make settling down harder
41 Insomnia: Recommended workup (1) All children with ASD should be screened for insomnia (2) Screening should be done for potential contributing factors, including other medical problems (3) The need for therapeutic intervention should be determined Screening questions: 1. Falls asleep within 20 min 2. Falls asleep in parents bed 3. Sleeps too little 4. Awakens once during night Medical Screening: Reflux, constipation, seizures disordered breathing, pain/discomfort, nutrition Exam: tonsils, tone, nasal congestion, dentition wheezing, eczema ATN Sleep committee, Pediatrics, 2012
42 Insomnia: Behavioral/Educational intervention
43 Example of a visual schedule for sleep
44 Insomnia: Pharmacological treatment (OFF LABEL) Melatonin: (RCT) 5-15 mg, given 30 minutes before bedtime, improves total sleep time by 30 minutes and significantly decreases sleep latency Ramelteon: Melatonin receptor agonist, case reports only, improved total sleep time
45 Insomnia: Pharmacological treatment (OFF LABEL) Clonidine: mg, improved sleep latency, decreased number of nighttime awakenings Gabapentin: 5 mg/kg, one study showed improved sleep, but higher doses can cause agitation Benzodiazepines: shorten sleep latency and increase total sleep time, but cause daytime sleepiness and risk of withdrawal Iron supplementation: 6 mg/kg x 8 weeks, Improves restless sleep
46 Data from Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network Registry 46% of children ages 4-10 were treated with medications Most commonly used: Melatonin and Alpha Agonists Medication use highly correlated with worse daytime behavior and quality of life compared to those without medications Pediatrics, 2016
47 Take home points All children with ASD should undergo genetic testing, as results can help guide prognosis, screening, and possibly treatments Seizures are more common in children with ASD, especially in adolescence, but testing for seizures (EEG) is only indicated if there is a clinical concern All children with ASD should be screened for insomnia, and if concerns they should be referred to a specialist for management
48 When should you see a neurologist? Developmental regression Seizures, or episodes concerning for seizures (VIDEOS help) Autism plus global developmental delay Motor problems Sleep problems (at least for consultation) Clinician concern about abnormal neurological exam Known genetic syndrome or variant associated with ASD
