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.

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with agenesis of the corpus callosum (HMSN/ACC) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterised by early-onset severe progressive neuropathy, variable degrees of ACC and cognitive impairment. Mutations in SLC12A6 (solute carrier family 12, member 6) encoding the K+–Cl- transporter KCC3 have been identified as the genetic cause of HMSN/ACC. We describe fraternal twins with compound heterozygous mutations in SLC12A6 and much milder phenotype than usually described. Neither of our patients requires assistance to walk. The female twin is still running and has a normal intellect. Charcot-Marie-Tooth Examination Score 2 was 8/28 in the brother and 5/28 in the sister. Neurophysiology demonstrated a length-dependent sensorimotor neuropathy. MRI brain showed normal corpus callosum. Genetic analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations in SLC12A6, including a whole gene deletion. These cases expand the clinical and genetic phenotype of this rare condition and highlight the importance of careful clinical phenotyping.
