Compound heterozygosity with PRRT2: Pushing the phenotypic envelope in genetic epilepsies
نویسندگان
چکیده
PRRT2 pathogenic variants have been described in benign familial infantile epilepsy, episodic ataxia, paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, and hemiplegic migraines. We describe a patient with compound heterozygous variants, infantile epilepsy with status epilepticus, paroxysmal dyskinesia and episodic ataxia. Testing revealed a pathogenic PRRT2 duplication (c.649dupC), and a likely pathogenic missense variant (c916G>A). His presentation meets the severe phenotypic category with a combination of at least 3 neurological symptoms: seizures and status epilepticus, prolonged episodic ataxia, and paroxysmal dyskinesia. This further expands the clinical findings related to PRRT2, and suggests that compound heterozygous variants could confer a severe phenotype.

Single Nucleotide Variations in CLCN6 Identified in Patients with Benign Partial Epilepsies in Infancy and/or Febrile Seizures
Nucleotide alterations in the gene encoding proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 (PRRT2) have been identified in most patients with benign partial epilepsies in infancy (BPEI)/benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE). However, not all patients harbor these PRRT2 mutations, indicating the involvement of genes other than PRRT2. In this study, we performed whole exome sequencing analysis for a la...

BACKGROUND Paroxysmal dyskinesias (PDs), a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of episodic movement disorders, include kinesigenic PD (PKD), exercise-induced PD (PED) and non-kinesigenic PD (PNKD). These disorders are all transmitted as autosomal dominant traits with incomplete penetrance. Several PD-related genetic disorders, including PKD and familial infantile convulsions with par...
متن کاملThe evolving spectrum of PRRT2-associated paroxysmal diseases.
Next-generation sequencing has identified mutations in the PRRT2 (proline-rich transmembrane protein 2) gene as the leading cause for a wide and yet evolving spectrum of paroxysmal diseases. PRRT2 mutations are found in the majority of patients with benign familial infantile epilepsy, infantile convulsions and choreoathetosis and paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, confirming a common disease sp...

BACKGROUND Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is the most common subtype of paroxysmal dyskinesias and is caused by mutations in PRRT2 gene. The majority of familial PKD was identified to harbor PRRT2 mutations. However, over two-third of sporadic PKD patients did not carry anyPRRT2 mutation, suggesting an existence of additional genetic mutations or possible misdiagnosis due to clinical o...
