Epilepsy is a common brain disorder, characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures, with associated neuropsychiatric and cognitive comorbidities and increased mortality. Although people at risk can often be identified, interventions to prevent the development of the disorder are not available. Moreover, in at least 30% of patients, epilepsy cannot be controlled by current antiseizure medications (ASMs). As a result of considerable progress in epilepsy genetics and the development of novel disease models, drug screening technologies and innovative therapeutic modalities over the past 10 years, more than 200 novel epilepsy therapies are currently in the preclinical or clinical pipeline, including many treatments that act by new mechanisms. Assisted by diagnostic and predictive biomarkers, the treatment of epilepsy is undergoing paradigm shifts from symptom-only ASMs to disease prevention, and from broad trial-and-error treatments for seizures in general to mechanism-based treatments for specific epilepsy syndromes. In this Review, we assess recent progress in ASM development and outline future directions for the development of new therapies for the treatment and prevention of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a common and debilitating brain disorder for which current antiseizure medications (ASMs) provide inadequate efficacy in around 30% of patients. In their Review, Pavel Klein and colleagues survey the diverse ASM pipeline, including new approaches to target specific epilepsy syndromes, and discuss strategies for disease prevention.

Large-scale cancer genome sequencing studies have revealed that chromatin regulators are frequently mutated in cancer. In particular, more than 20% of cancers harbour mutations in genes that encode subunits of SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin remodelling complexes. Additional links of SWI/SNF complexes to disease have emerged with the findings that some oncogenes drive transformation by co-opting SWI/SNF function and that germline mutations in select SWI/SNF subunits are the basis of several neurodevelopmental disorders. Other chromatin remodellers, including members of the ISWI, CHD and INO80/SWR complexes, have also been linked to cancer and developmental disorders. Consequently, therapeutic manipulation of SWI/SNF and other remodelling complexes has become of great interest, and drugs that target SWI/SNF subunits have entered clinical trials. Genome-wide perturbation screens in cancer cell lines with SWI/SNF mutations have identified additional synthetic lethal targets and led to further compounds in clinical trials, including one that has progressed to FDA approval. Here, we review the progress in understanding the structure and function of SWI/SNF and other chromatin remodelling complexes, mechanisms by which SWI/SNF mutations cause cancer and neurological diseases, vulnerabilities that arise because of these mutations and efforts to target SWI/SNF complexes and synthetic lethal targets for therapeutic benefit. Mutations in genes that encode subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes are found in more than 20% of cancers as well as in certain neurodevelopmental disorders. This Review discusses mechanisms by which SWI/SNF mutations lead to disease and the strategies to target SWI/SNF complexes and synthetic lethal targets for therapeutic benefit.
