AbstractMitochondrial dynamics such as fission and fusion play a vital role in normal brain development and neuronal activity. DNM1L encodes a dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), which is a GTPase essential for proper mitochondrial fission. The clinical phenotype of DNM1L mutations depends on the degree of mitochondrial fission deficiency, ranging from severe encephalopathy and death shortly after birth to initially normal development and then sudden onset of refractory status epilepticus with very poor neurologic outcome. We describe a case of a previously healthy 3-year-old boy with a mild delay in speech development until the acute onset of a refractory status epilepticus with subsequent epileptic encephalopathy and very poor neurologic outcome. The de novo missense mutation in DNM1L (c.1207C > T, p.R403C), which we identified in this case, seems to determine a unique clinical course, strikingly similar to four previously described patients in literature with the identical de novo heterozygous missense mutation in DNM1L.

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.
