Introdução
O que você precisa saber de cara
A encefalopatia epiléptica de início precoce inespecífica é uma condição rara que começa logo nos primeiros meses de vida, causando crises epilépticas frequentes e de diferentes tipos. A família costuma perceber que a criança tem atraso para se desenvolver, dificuldades na fala, rigidez ou fraqueza nos músculos e problemas para engolir. A causa costuma envolver alterações em genes importantes para o cérebro, como TRAK1, SCN8A e WWOX. No Brasil, o SUS não possui um protocolo exclusivo para esta síndrome, mas dispensa medicamentos anticonvulsivantes pelo protocolo geral de epilepsia e oferece atendimento de reabilitação.

Variants loci and phenotype correlation of TRIM8-related neuro-renal syndrome: three cases reports and literature review.
TRIM8-related neuro-renal syndrome (NRS), caused by pathogenic variants of the TRIM8 gene, is characterized by epilepsy, developmental delay (DD) and renal disorders. The severity of the neurological effects as well as the presence of renal disorders is variable among patients. Here, we report three additional patients with clinical features compatible with NRS and summarize the association between the variants' loci and phenotype of TIRM8-related NRS. A retrospective analysis was conducted for three Chinese children with NRS due to TRIM8 variants identified through whole-exome sequencing (WES). Previous reports of patients with TRIM8-related NRS were reviewed systematically. Demographic and clinical data were collected from these patients. Two de novo TRIM8 truncating variants in three NRS patients were identified in our study, including c.1327_c.1328delCCinsTG (p. Arg443*) and c.1375C>T (p.Gln459*). Our three patients all exhibited drug-resistant epilepsy and early-onset DD, and two of whom developed electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES). Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed periventricular leukomalacia in one patient and normal in the other two. All three patients demonstrated nephrotic range proteinuria (NRP) or nephrotic syndrome (NS) with normal renal function during follow-up. There was a total of 27 patients with TRIM8-related NRS have been identified to date. The most common clinical features are renal diseases (89%), DD (89%), followed by epilepsy (78%). 67% of patients eventually progressed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Focal seizure was the most frequent seizure type (57%). 52% of patients presented drug-resistant epilepsy. 64% of patients exhibited non-specific brain MRI abnormalities. Brain atrophy was the most common change (50%). Two patients with TRIM8 variants closer to the N-terminal had neurological diseases without renal damage. Five patients with TRIM8 variants closer to the C-terminal had no severe neurological diseases. Seven patients had Gln459* variant which is the most common variant (7/27, 25.9%). The severity of the renal and neurological damage of the seven patients was variable. This study expands the number of individuals with confirmed NRS due to pathogenic variants in TRIM8. Neurological and renal phenotype with the same variant locus differed in their severity. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between genotype and phenotype of TRIM8 variants.
Clinical and molecular heterogeneity in CDLK5 disorders.
CDKL5 deficiency syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in the CDKL5 gene, with a variable clinical spectrum ranging from patients with characteristics of autism spectrum disorder to early-onset epilepsy refractory to treatment. Initially, until the gene was discovered, it was considered an atypical form of Rett syndrome. This study aimed to describe the clinical and molecular heterogeneity in CDLK5 disorders among three female patients with CDKL5 pathogenic variants. We reported three unrelated Mexican female patients evaluated for global developmental delay and epilepsy. All three cases were hemizygotes to a CDKL5 pathogenic variant. In one patient, we performed a 306 gene panel associated with epilepsy. In the other two cases, a human genomic microarray was performed. We describe their clinical features electroencephalogram and brain magnetic resonance evaluations. CDKL5 deficiency syndrome represents a challenge for clinicians since the clinical manifestations, electroencephalographic and neuroimaging studies can be non-specific. This syndrome should be suspected in the presence of global developmental delay, autistic behavioral phenotype and epilepsy, associated or not with dysmorphia. Given the similarity between various epileptic encephalopathies, multigene panels including sequencing and duplication/deletion analysis should be requested in which this gene and its possible differential diagnoses are considered, without forgetting the usefulness of genomic techniques in unclear cases. El síndrome por deficiencia de CDKL5 es originado por variantes patogénicas en el gen CDKL5, con un espectro clínico variable que va desde pacientes con características del trastorno del espectro autista hasta epilepsia de inicio temprano y refractaria al tratamiento. Inicialmente fue considerado como una forma atípica de síndrome de Rett. Presentamos tres pacientes no relacionadas, evaluadas por retraso global del desarrollo y epilepsia refractaria. Los tres casos eran hemicigotos a una variante patógena de CDKL5. En una paciente se realizó panel de 306 genes asociados con epilepsia; en las otras dos se realizó microarreglo genómico comparativo. Las características clínicas y los hallazgos en el electroencefalograma y la resonancia magnética cerebral se han descrito clásicamente en el espectro de manifestaciones de este síndrome. El síndrome por deficiencia de CDKL5 representa un reto para los médicos, ya que en muchos casos las manifestaciones clínicas y los estudios electroencefalográficos y de neuroimagen pueden ser inespecíficos. Debe sospecharse este síndrome ante la presencia de retraso global del desarrollo, fenotipo conductual autista y epilepsia, asociado o no con dismorfias. Dada la similitud entre diversas encefalopatías epilépticas, se deben solicitar paneles multigénicos que incluyan la secuenciación y el análisis de duplicación/deleción en los que se contemple este gen y sus posibles diagnósticos diferenciales, aunque sin olvidar la utilidad de las técnicas genómicas en casos poco claros.
A Novel Variant of the CHD2 Gene Associated With Developmental Delay and Myoclonic Epilepsy.
Pathogenic variants in CHD2 have been reported to have a wide range of phenotypic variability in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, developmental delay, and behavior problems. So far, there is no clear correlation between genotypes and phenotypes. This study reports a Chinese patient with a novel heterozygous CHD2 mutation (c.4318C>T, pArg1440*). Her main clinical manifestations include developmental delay, myoclonic epilepsy, and hypothyroidism. Then, we reviewed a total of 144 individuals carrying CHD2 variants with epileptic encephalopathy. In terms of clinical manifestations, these patients are usually described with variable epilepsy phenotypes, including idiopathic photosensitive occipital epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, Jeavons syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and non-specific epileptic encephalopathy. Among them, myoclonic seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures are the main seizure types in all patients hosting CHD2 single-nucleotide or indel variants (non-CNVs). At the molecular level, there are 102 types of CHD2 non-CNVs in 126 patients, almost one mutational type corresponding to one person, and there is no difference in the incidence ratio of each position. Furthermore, we summarized that a small proportion of patients inherited CHD2 variants, and not all patients with CHD2 variants had seizures. Importantly, the phenotypes, especially seizures control and fever sensitivity, and genotypes had a relative association. These results enriched the database of CHD2-relative neurodevelopmental disorders and provided a theoretical foundation for researching the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes.
Human COQ4 deficiency: delineating the clinical, metabolic and neuroimaging phenotypes.
Human coenzyme Q4 (COQ4) is essential for coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis. Pathogenic variants in COQ4 cause childhood-onset neurodegeneration. We aimed to delineate the clinical spectrum and the cellular consequences of COQ4 deficiency. Clinical course and neuroradiological findings in a large cohort of paediatric patients with COQ4 deficiency were analysed. Functional studies in patient-derived cell lines were performed. We characterised 44 individuals from 36 families with COQ4 deficiency (16 newly described). A total of 23 different variants were identified, including four novel variants in COQ4. Correlation analyses of clinical and neuroimaging findings revealed three disease patterns: type 1: early-onset phenotype with neonatal brain anomalies and epileptic encephalopathy; type 2: intermediate phenotype with distinct stroke-like lesions; and type 3: moderate phenotype with non-specific brain pathology and a stable disease course. The functional relevance of COQ4 variants was supported by in vitro studies using patient-derived fibroblast lines. Experiments revealed significantly decreased COQ4 protein levels, reduced levels of cellular CoQ10 and elevated levels of the metabolic intermediate 6-demethoxyubiquinone. Our study describes the heterogeneous clinical presentation of COQ4 deficiency and identifies phenotypic subtypes. Cell-based studies support the pathogenic characteristics of COQ4 variants. Due to the insufficient clinical response to oral CoQ10 supplementation, alternative treatment strategies are warranted.
Phenotypic spectrum of patients with GABRB2 variants: from mild febrile seizures to severe epileptic encephalopathy.
To characterize the different phenotypes of GABRB2-related epilepsy and to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation. We used next-generation sequencing to identify GABRB2 variants in 15 patients. Eleven GABRB2 variants were novel and 12 were de novo. The age at the onset of seizures ranged from 1 day to 26 months. Nine patients had multiple seizure types, including focal seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, epileptic spasms, and atonic seizures. Seizures were fever-sensitive in 13 out of the 15 patients. Eleven patients displayed developmental delay, while 11 had abnormal video electroencephalography. Abnormalities in the brain images included dysplasia of the frontal and temporal cortex, dysplasia of the corpus callosum, and delayed myelination in four patients. One patient was diagnosed with febrile seizures, three with febrile seizures plus, three with Dravet syndrome, three with West syndrome, one with Ohtahara syndrome, three with developmental delays and epilepsy, and one with non-specific early-onset epileptic encephalopathy. The most common phenotypes of patients with GABRB2 variants include early onset of seizure and fever sensitivity. Febrile seizures and febrile seizures plus are new phenotypes of GABRB2 variants. The phenotypic spectrum of GABRB2 variants ranges from mild febrile seizures to severe epileptic encephalopathy. 目的: 总结GABRB2基因相关癫痫的不同表型特点及基因型-表型相关性研究 方法: 采用二代测序技术的方法发现15例患者携带GABRB2基因变异 结果: 15例GABRB2基因变异中11例为新发现的变异,12例为新生变异。癫痫起病年龄范围从生后第1天至26月龄。共有9名患者有多种癫痫发作形式,包括局灶性发作,全面性强直阵挛发作,肌阵挛发作,癫痫性痉挛发作和失张力发作。15例患者中有13例出现癫痫热敏感。11例患者出现发育落后,且有脑电图异常。4例患者出现头颅影像异常,包括额颞区皮质发育不良,胼胝体发育不良,髓鞘化延迟。癫痫诊断包括热性惊厥1例,热性惊厥附加症3例,Dravet综合征3例,婴儿痉挛症3例,大田原综合征1例,发育落后与癫痫3例,不能分类的早发癫痫性脑病1例。 结论: GABRB2基因变异导致的最常见表型包括癫痫起病年龄早和癫痫热敏感。热性惊厥和热性惊厥附加症是GABRB2基因变异的新表型。GABRB2基因变异的表型谱广泛,从表型轻的热性惊厥到严重的癫痫性脑病。.
