Loss-of-Function Mutations in FRRS1L Lead to an Epileptic-Dyskinetic Encephalopathy.

چکیده
Glutamatergic neurotransmission governs excitatory signaling in the mammalian brain, and abnormalities of glutamate signaling have been shown to contribute to both epilepsy and hyperkinetic movement disorders. The etiology of many severe childhood movement disorders and epilepsies remains uncharacterized. We describe a neurological disorder with epilepsy and prominent choreoathetosis caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in FRRS1L, which encodes an AMPA receptor outer-core protein. Loss of FRRS1L function attenuates AMPA-mediated currents, implicating chronic abnormalities of glutamatergic neurotransmission in this monogenic neurological disease of childhood.

AIM Forkhead Box G1 (FOXG1) syndrome is a developmental encephalopathy characterized by postnatal microcephaly, structural brain abnormalities, facial dysmorphisms, severe delay with absent language, defective social interactions, and epilepsy. Abnormal movements in FOXG1 syndrome have often been mentioned but not characterized. METHOD We clinically assessed and analysed video recordings of e...
متن کاملDe novo KCNB1 mutations in epileptic encephalopathy.
OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have demonstrated increased load of de novo copy number variants or single nucleotide variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, including epileptic encephalopathies, intellectual disability, and autism. METHODS We searched for de novo mutations in a family quartet with a sporadic case of epileptic encephalopathy with no known etiology to determine t...
متن کاملAMPA-receptor specific biogenesis complexes control synaptic transmission and intellectual ability
AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs), key elements in excitatory neurotransmission in the brain, are macromolecular complexes whose properties and cellular functions are determined by the co-assembled constituents of their proteome. Here we identify AMPAR complexes that transiently form in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lack the core-subunits typical for AMPARs in the plasma membrane. Cen...
متن کاملEpileptic encephalopathy, movement disorder, and the yin and yang of GNAO1 function.
GNAO1 encephalopathy comprises a spectrum of neurologic phenotypes that result from de novo heterozygous mutations in GNAO1, a gene coding for the subunit of a G protein that is highly expressed in the CNS and is involved in second messenger signaling. De novo heterozygous mutations in the gene were first described in patients with a severe, infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy known as Oht...
