The Mean

Objective:To describe electroclinical features and outcome of 6 patients harboring KCNB1 mutations.Methods:Clinical, EEG, neuropsychological, and brain MRI data analysis. Targeted next-generation sequencing of a 95 epilepsy gene panel.Results:The mean age at seizure onset was 11 months. The mean follow-up of 11.3 years documented that 4 patients following an infantile phase of frequent seizures became seizure free; the mean age at seizure offset was 4.25 years. Epilepsy phenotypes comprised West syndrome in 2 patients, infantile-onset unspecified generalized epilepsy, myoclonic and photosensitive eyelid myoclonia epilepsy resembling Jeavons syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and focal epilepsy with prolonged occipital or clonic seizures in each and every one. Five patients had developmental delay prior to seizure onset evolving into severe intellectual disability with absent speech and autistic traits in one and stereotypic hand movements with impulse control disorder in another. The patient with Jeavons syndrome evolved into moderate intellectual disability. Mutations were de novo, 4 missense and 2 nonsense, 5 were novel, and 1 resulted from somatic mosaicism.Conclusions:KCNB1-related manifestations include a spectrum of infantile-onset generalized or focal seizures whose combination leads to early infantile epileptic encephalopathy including West, Lennox-Gastaut, and Jeavons syndromes. Long-term follow-up highlights that following a stormy phase, seizures subside or cease and treatment may be eased or withdrawn. Cognitive and motor functions are almost always delayed prior to seizure onset and evolve into severe, persistent impairment. Thus, KCNB1 mutations are associated with diffuse brain dysfunction combining seizures, motor, and cognitive impairment.

AbstractEarly infantile epileptic encephalopathy-64 (EIEE 64), also called RHOBTB2-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), is caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants (EIEE 64; MIM#618004) in the Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 2 (RHOBTB2) gene. To date, only 13 cases with RHOBTB2-related DEE have been reported. We add to the literature the 14th case of EIEE 64, identified by whole exome sequencing, caused by a heterozygous pathogenic variant in RHOBTB2 (c.1531C > T), p.Arg511Trp. This additional case supports the main features of RHOBTB2-related DEE: infantile-onset seizures, severe intellectual disability, impaired motor functions, postnatal microcephaly, recurrent status epilepticus, and hemiparesis after seizures.

AbstractInterleukin-1 receptor accessory protein-like 1 (IL1RAPL1) encodes a protein that is highly expressed in neurons and has been shown to regulate neurite outgrowth as well as synapse formation and synaptic transmission. Clinically, mutations in or deletions of IL1RAPL1 have been associated with a spectrum of neurological dysfunction including autism spectrum disorder and nonsyndromic X-linked developmental delay/intellectual disability of varying severity. Nearly all reported cases are in males; in the few reported cases involving females, the clinical presentation was mild or the deletion was identified in phenotypically normal carriers in accordance with X-linked inheritance. Using genome-wide microarray analysis, we identified a novel de novo 373 kb interstitial deletion of the X chromosome (Xp21.1-p21.2) that includes exons 4 to 6 of the IL1RAPL1 gene in an 8-year-old girl with severe intellectual disability and behavioral disorder with a history of developmental regression. Overnight continuous video electroencephalography revealed electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES). This case expands the clinical genetic spectrum of IL1RAPL1-related neurodevelopmental disorders and highlights a new genetic association of ESES.

Abstract Background: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are a heterogeneous group of severe disorders which are characterized by early-onset, refractory seizures and developmental slowing or regression. Genetic variations are significant causes for them. De novo variants in an increasing number of candidate genes have been found to be causal. YWHAG gene variants have been reported to cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 56 (DEE56). Case presentation: Here, we report a novel heterozygous missense variant c.170G>A (p.R57H) in YWHAG gene cause early-onset epilepsy in a Chinese family. Both the proband and his mother exhibit early onset seizures, intellectual disability, developmental delay. While the proband achieve seizure control with sodium valproate, his mother's seizures were not well controlled. Conclusions: Our report further confirming the haploinsufficiency of YWHAG results in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.

AbstractBalanced chromosomal abnormalities (BCAs) can disrupt gene function resulting in disease. To date, BCA disrupting the SET binding protein 1 (SETBP1) gene has not been reported. On the other hand, de novo heterozygous variants in the highly conserved 11-bp region in SETBP1 can result in the Schinzel–Giedion syndrome. This condition is characterized by severe intellectual disability, a characteristic face, and multiple-system anomalies. Further other types of mutations involving SETBP1 are associated with a different phenotype, mental retardation, autosomal dominant 29 (MRD29), which has mild dysmorphic features, developmental delay, and behavioral disorders. Here we report a male patient who has moderate intellectual disability, mild behavioral difficulties, and severe expressive speech impairment resulting from a de novo balanced chromosome translocation, t(12;18)(q22;q12.3). By whole genome sequencing, we determined the breakpoints at the nucleotide level. The 18q12.3 breakpoint was located between exons 2 and 3 of SETBP1. Phenotypic features of our patient are compatible with those with MRD29. This is the first reported BCA disrupting SETBP1.
