Recurrent de novo mutations of SCN1A in severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy.
Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN1A are a major cause of severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (Dravet syndrome) and generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus. This study reports the identification of six de novo SCN1A mutations in patients with severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy, including a tetranucleotide deletion in exon 26. The same deletion was previously obser...
متن کامل[De novo SCN1A gene deletion in therapy-resistant Dravet syndrome].
Severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (Dravet's syndrome) is a very rare form of epilepsy. Mutations of SCN1A gene encoding voltage-gated sodium channel alpha-1 subunit are major causes of the autosomal dominant disorder. Most cases are associated with a de novo point mutation, but some patients have copy number variations. The protein encoded by the SCN1A gene plays a role in the generation and...
متن کاملCryptogenic epileptic syndromes related to SCN1A: twelve novel mutations identified.
BACKGROUND Sodium channel alpha 1 subunit gene, SCN1A, is the gene encoding the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel alpha 1 subunit (Na(v)1.1) and is mutated in different forms of epilepsy. Mutations in this gene were observed in more than 70% of patients with severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI) and were also found in different types of infantile epileptic encephalopathy. OBJECTIVE ...
متن کاملAmplicon Resequencing Identified Parental Mosaicism for Approximately 10% of “de novo” SCN1A Mutations in Children with Dravet Syndrome
The majority of children with Dravet syndrome (DS) are caused by de novo SCN1A mutations. To investigate the origin of the mutations, we developed and applied a new method that combined deep amplicon resequencing with a Bayesian model to detect and quantify allelic fractions with improved sensitivity. Of 174 SCN1A mutations in DS probands which were considered "de novo" by Sanger sequencing, we...
متن کاملPitfalls in genetic testing: the story of missed SCN1A mutations
BACKGROUND Sanger sequencing, still the standard technique for genetic testing in most diagnostic laboratories and until recently widely used in research, is gradually being complemented by next-generation sequencing (NGS). No single mutation detection technique is however perfect in identifying all mutations. Therefore, we wondered to what extent inconsistencies between Sanger sequencing and N...
