Mutations in SLC12A5 in epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potassium-chloride co-transporter KCC2, encoded by SLC12A5, plays a fundamental role in fast synaptic inhibition by maintaining a hyperpolarizing gradient for chloride ions. KCC2 dysfunction has been implicated in human epilepsy, but to date, no monogenic KCC2-related epilepsy disorders have been described. Here we show recessive loss-of-function SLC12A5 mutations in patients with a severe infantile-onset pharmacoresistant epilepsy syndrome, epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS). Decreased KCC2 surface expression, reduced protein glycosylation and impaired chloride extrusion contribute to loss of KCC2 activity, thereby impairing normal synaptic inhibition and promoting neuronal excitability in this early-onset epileptic encephalopathy.

Impaired neuronal KCC2 function by biallelic SLC12A5 mutations in migrating focal seizures and severe developmental delay
Epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) is one of the early-onset epileptic syndromes characterized by migrating polymorphous focal seizures. Whole exome sequencing (WES) in ten sporadic and one familial case of EIMFS revealed compound heterozygous SLC12A5 (encoding the neuronal K(+)-Cl(-) co-transporter KCC2) mutations in two families: c.279 + 1G > C causing skipping of exon ...
متن کاملMesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with KCNT1 mutation
Several epilepsies such as malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy (MMPSI) and autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) are caused by mutations in the sodiumactivated potassium channel named KCNT1 [1]. Together with their role in epileptic encephalopathies such as MMPSI, KCNT1 mutations are involved in intellectual disability [1]. This report highlights a new phenotyp...

متن کاملTemporal lobe dual pathology in malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy.
A child had the characteristic clinical and EEG pattern of migrating partial seizures in infancy with left temporal lobe atrophy, hippocampal sclerosis and cortical-subcortical blurring. Seizures were drug-resistant, with recurring episodes of status epilepticus. The child developed microcephaly with arrest of psychomotor development. Focal brain lesions, in the context of migrating partial sei...
