Objective:
To investigate the spectrum of mutations in families with benign familial neonatal-infantile epilepsy (BFNIE) .
Methods:
Clinical data and peripheral blood DNA samples of all BFNIE probands and their family members were collected from Peking University First Hospital between December 2012 and April 2016. Clinical phenotypes of affected members were analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples with standard protoco1. Mutations in PRRT2 were screened using Sanger sequencing. For families that PRRT2 mutations were not detected by Sanger sequencing, candidate gene mutations were further screened by next-generation sequencing for epilepsy.
Results:
A total of 7 families were collected. Of the 30 affected members, 15 were male and 15 were female. The age of epilepsy onset was from 2 days to 6 months. Genetic testing led to the identification of gene mutations in all families. One family had the PRRT2 hotspot mutation (c.649dupC). Three families had missense SCN2A mutations (c.2674G>A/p.V892I, c.2872A>G/p.M958V, and c.2627A>G/p.N876S) . Both c.2872A>G/p.M958V and c.2627A>G/p.N876S were novel SCN2A mutations. Three families had KCNQ2 mutations. Two of them had missense mutations (c.958G>A/p.V320I and c.998G>A/p.R333Q) . The KCNQ2 mutation c.958G>A/p.V320I was novel. One family had a gene deletion of KCNQ2, which also extended to the adjacent gene, CHRNA4; and the deletion involved all the exons of KCNQ2 and CHRNA4.
Conclusions
Mutations in KCNQ2, SCN2A, and PRRT2 are genetic causes of BFNIE in Chinese families. The detection rate for gene mutations is high in BFNIE families. KCNQ2 and SCN2A mutations are common in BFNIE families. SCN2A mutations (c.2872A>G/p.M958V and c.2627A>G/p.N876S) and KCNQ2 mutation (c.958G>A/p.V320I) are novel mutations.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of the occurrence of hypoxic hepatitis(HH)in children with shock.Methods Clinical data(general situation,clinical situation and prognosis)of 234 children with different types of shock admitted to the pediatrics department of Hainan Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2016 to December 2023 were collected.Serum biochemical indexes on day 1(d1),day 2(d2),day 3(d3),day 5(d5),day 7(d7)of children with shock were collected,including serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),glutamate aminotransferase(AST),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),albumin(ALB),total bilirubin(TBIL),urea nitrogen(BUN),C reactive protein(CRP),international standardized time(INR)and lactate.And the clinical characteristics and risk factors of the occurrence of HH in children with shock were analyzed.Results A total of 234 cases(150 cases of males)of different types of shock in children were enrolled,ages ranged from 1 month to 16 years old.According to whether developed HH,the children with shock were divided into HH group(32 cases)and non-HH group(202 cases).The total incidence of HH was 13.7%(32/234).Septic shock was the main disease of the occurrence of HH in children with shock,accounting for 65.63%(21/32).According to the prognosis,children with shock combined HH were divided into survival group(17 cases)and death group(15 cases).The case fatality rate of children with shock combined HH was 46.9%.The ALT and AST values in children with shock combined HH were more than 20 times of the upper limits of normal ranges.The peak values of enzymatic indexes in the survival group appeared at the onset time d 1 to d 2,they were close to the normal ranges at the onset time d7,while the enzymatic indexes in the death group were higher than the normal ranges during the whole disease stage.Compared with the survival group,the peak values of ALT,AST,ALP,TBIL,CRP,BUN,and INR in the death group were obviously higher(P<0.05,both).The lowest value of ALB in the death group was lower than that in the survival group(P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pediatric critical illness score(PCIS),lactate,multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS),decompensated shock and cardiogenic shock were the risk factors for the occurrence of HH in children with shock(P<0.05 or 0.01),and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were the risk factors of the death of HH in children with shock(P<0.01).Conclusions Children with shock who have the risk factors as decreased PCIS,increased lactate level,MODS,decompensated shock and cardiogenic shock are apt to suffer from HH.Poor prognosis in the chil-dren with shock combined HH is associated with worse condition and lower LVEF.There is a high fatality rate of shock combined HH in children,so that liver function indicators should be closely monitored to early detect HH,and reasonable treatment should be given.

Objective To investigate the gene mutations in benign familial infantile epilepsy(BFIE)in Chi-na. Methods Data of all BFIE probands and their family members were collected from Peking University First Hospital and other three hospitals between October 2006 and June 2017. Clinical phenotypes of affected members were analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples with standard protocol. Mutations in PRRT2 were screened using Sanger sequencing. For families that PRRT2 mutations were not detected by Sanger sequencing,candidate gene mutations were further screened by next - generation sequencing. Results A total of 71 families including 227 affected members were collected. Genetic testing led to the identification of gene mutations in 52 families (52 / 71,73. 2%). Forty - three families had PRRT2 mutations (43 / 71,60. 6%),including 40 families with frameshift mutations(hotspot mutations c. 649_650insC and c. 649delC were detected in 29 families and 6 families,respectively),one family with nonsense mutation,one family with a loss of a stop codon,and one family with a microdeletion of the gene. C. 560_561insT and c. 679C > T were novel PRRT2 mutations. Five families had SCN2A mutations. All SCN2A mutations were missense mutations(c. 668G > A,c. 752T > C,c. 1307T > C,c. 4835C > G,c. 1737C > G). Mutation c. 752T > C, c. 1307T > C,c. 4835C > G,and c. 1737C > G were novel mutations. Three families had KCNQ2 mutations. All KCNQ2 mutations were missense mutations(c. 775G > A,c. 237T > G,c. 1510C > T). Mutation c. 237T > G and c. 1510C > T were novel mutations. One family had a novel GABRA6 mutation c. 523G > T. In 71 BFIE families,16 families had mem-bers who showed paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesias(PKD)and subclassified as infantile convulsions with paroxysmal choreoathetosis syndrome(ICCA). Fifteen ICCA families were found having PRRT2 mutations (15 / 16,93. 8%). The remaining ICCA family was not detected with any pathogenic mutation. Conclusion There is high frequency of gene mutations in BFIE families. Mutations in KCNQ2,SCN2A,and PRRT2 are genetic causes of BFIE. PRRT2 is the main gene responsible for BFIE. GABRA6 mutation might be a new cause of BFIE.
