Case presentation: The parents of a 38 months-old male patient seek neurological consultation for refractory seizures. He was previously treated with phenobarbital 4,7mg/kg/day and valproate 41mg/kg/day febrile seizures that started at 30 months. described generalized myoclonic following staring. presented every 2 to 3 weeks when it added clobazam 0,55mg/kg/day, oxcarbazepine 33,3mg/kg/day cannabidiol 3,33mg/kg/day. diagnosed autism spectrum disorder after presenting speech regression the age 18 months old. There no known familiar history epilepsy. No metabolic found, only significant prenatal finding prematurity gestational 34 weeks. cryptorchidism. Electroencephalography recorded he 40 weeks-old normal. underwent genetic panel epilepsy, being discovered heterozygous variant SCN2A, chr2:165.313.721 G >A. seizure free least suspension dose adjustment both phenobarbital.

A nonsense mutation of the sodium channel gene SCN2A in a patient with intractable epilepsy and mental decline.
Mutations, exclusively missense, of voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit type 1 (SCN1A) and type 2 (SCN2A) genes were reported in patients with idiopathic epilepsy: generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus. Nonsense and frameshift mutations of SCN1A, by contrast, were identified in intractable epilepsy: severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI). Here we describe a first nonsense ...
متن کاملSevere epilepsy resulting from genetic interaction between Scn2a and Kcnq2.
A mutation in the voltage-gated sodium-channel Scn2a results in moderate epilepsy in transgenic Scn2a(Q54) mice maintained on a C57BL/6J strain background. The onset of progressive epilepsy begins in adults with short-duration partial seizures that originate in the hippocampus. The underlying abnormality is an increase in persistent sodium current in hippocampal neurons. The voltage-gated potas...

The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are amongst the most heritable complex disorders. Although there have been many efforts to locate the genes associated with ASD risk, many has been remained to be disclosed about the genetics of ASD. Scrutiny's have only disclosed a small number of de novo and inherited variants significantly associated with susceptibility to ASD. These only comprise a small ...
متن کاملInfantile epilepsy associated with mosaic 2q24 duplication including SCN2A and SCN3A
Epilepsies can be caused by specific genetic anomalies or by non-genetic factors, but in many cases the underlying cause is unknown. Mutations in the SCN1A and SCN2A genes are reported in childhood epilepsies; in particular SCN1A was found mutated in patients with Dravet syndrome and with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). In this paper we report a patient presenting with ...
متن کاملOligoastrocytoma presenting with intractable epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE Oligoastrocytomas (OA) are mixed gliomas with distinct oligodendroglial and astrocytic neoplastic components. Very little about OA has been reported in the intractable epilepsy population. METHODS We undertook a retrospective review of 923 patients who underwent resective surgery for intractable epilepsy between 1996 and 2004. RESULTS 6/923 (0.7%) patients were diagnosed with OA. ...
