Stress-induced childhood-onset neurodegeneration with variable ataxia and seizures caused by ADPRHL2 gene mutation is a recently diagnosed hereditary neurodegenerative disease, featured by a small number of reported cases, early age of onset, and high mortality.Therefore, to attract the attention of clinicians, the research progress of ADPRHL2 gene, its protein structure and function, as well as the hereditary mode, pathogenic mechanism, clinical features, and treatment prognosis of stress-induced childhood-onset neurodegeneration with variable ataxia and seizures were reviewed in this paper.

One of the important causes of developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) is the mutation of ion channel genes, including the mutation of the CACNA1E gene. CACNA1E-related DEE cases were first reported in 2018.The mutation types include new missense mutations, nonsense mutations and frameshift mutations, but the correlation between mutation sites and types with the phenotype of DEE is not clear.This review aims to summarize the reported CACNA1E-related DEE cases, and explore the correlation between the clinical phenotype of CACNA1E-related DEE and gene mutation sites and mutation types.Meanwhile, possible pathogenesis of CACNA1E-related DEE and the progress of drug intervention were reviewed to provide references for the diagnosis and precise treatment of DEE.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of three early-onset infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) patients with variations in phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS2) gene and to review related literature.Methods:The clinical data and genetic features of three early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 66 (EIEE66) patients with a PACS2 gene variant diagnosed by the Department of Neurology, Wuhan Children′s Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from January 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A literature search with "PACS2 gene" "PACS2" "epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 66" and"early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 66" as key words was conducted at PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (up to July 2020). Case reports of patients with PACS2 gene variants and related clinical data were chosen and reviewed.Results:Case 1, a girl aged 2 years and 2 months was hospitalized because of repetitive seizures within more than two years and 6 convulsions within 2 days due to fever. The seizures occurred at the age of 7 days, characterized by focal seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Sometimes, the frequency of seizures increased with high fever. Regular treatment had not been implemented in the early stage, later seizures were controlled by valproic acid treatment. Case 2, a female 5 months of age, was admitted due to recurrent convulsions in nearly five months. Focal seizures occured at the age of 5 days. And the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed abnormal cerebellar hemispheres and cerebellar vermis, as well as cerebellar dysplasia. Several antiepileptic drugs and ketogenic diet were ineffective in the early months, and later seizures were controlled with the treatment with levetiracetam and valproic acid. Case 3, a five-month-old girl, was admitted because of recurrent convulsions for nearly five months. At the age of 3 days, she had tonic seizures, and showed good response to levetiracetam and valproic acid. All the three cases were accompanied by development delay and dysmorphic facial appearance, and got seizure-free with the treatment with valproic acid. All copy-number variant analysis and trio whole exome sequencing revealed a recurrent heterozygous missense variant (c.625G>A) in PACS2 gene. No related reports were found in Chinese journals, while 4 reports were found in English literature, describing 17 patients in total. With these 3 patients included, 20 cases had only two missense PACS2 gene variants, in whom 19 cases carried the variant c. 625G>A (p.Glu209Lys) and 1 case carried the variant c. 631G>A (p.Glu211Lys). Epilepsy was the first reported symptom in all patients, and 17 cases had seizures during the first week of life. Out of the various seizure types observed, focal seizures were the predominant types (13 cases), whereas tonic, clonic, tonic-clonic seizures and non-motor seizures (such as facial flushing) were also reported. Almost all patients showed facial dysmorphism and developmental delay to different degrees. Total of 16 patients had abnormal brain MRI recordings, and 13 cases had cerebellar hypoplasia. More specifically, 7 cases showed inferior vermian hypoplasia, and 3 cases showed hypothalamic fusion anomaly. The treatment was mainly aimed to control the symptoms. And the recommended effective treatment for epilepsy has not been reported yet.Conclusions:PACS2-related early infantile epileptic encephalopathy is an autosomal dominant disease, characterized by seizure onset within the first week of life in most cases, dysmorphic facial appearance, and various degrees of developmental retardation. Treatment with valproic acid showed good effect.

Objective: To summarize the clinical phenotypes of epilepsy in patients with GABRA1 gene variants. Methods: A total of 11 epileptic patients (4 boys and 7 girls) who were treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital from March 2016 to July 2019 and detected with GABRA1 gene heterozygous pathogenic variants by targeted next-generation sequencing were enrolled. The features of clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG), and neuroimaging were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 11 epileptic patients carried GABRA1 gene pathogenic variants, of whom 10 were de novo variants and the other one was inherited from the patient′s mother. Two patients had the same variants. Six variants were novel. Ages at seizure onset ranged from 3 to 14 months, and the median age was 8 months. The seizure was first observed within 1 year in 10 patients and beyond 1 year of age in 1 patient. Multiple seizure types were observed, including focal seizures in 10 patients, generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) in 3 patients, myoclonic seizures in 3 patients, and epileptic spasm in 2 patients. There were 5 patients with multiple seizure types. Sensitivity to fever was observed in 9 patients, among whom 6 patients had a history of status epilepticus. Two patients had photoparoxysmal response. Five patients had abnormal EEG background, and 6 patients had abnormal discharges in EEG during interictal phase. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal in all patients. Developmental delay in various degrees was present in 9 patients. Among the 11 patients, Dravet syndrome was diagnosed in 5 patients, West syndrome in 2 patients, undiagnosed early-onset epileptic encephalopathy in 1 patient, and focal epilepsy in the other 3 patients. The ages at the last follow-up ranged from 8 months to 12 years. During follow-up, 8 patients were seizure-free for 6 months to 8 years, and 1 patient had discontinuation of medication. Conclusions In epilepsy associated with GABRA1 gene variants, de novo pathogenic variants are more common than inherited. Most epilepsy caused by GABRA1 gene variants occurs in infancy. Most patients have multiple seizures and focal seizures are common. Most patients have a comparatively favorable prognosis, but they may still have varied degrees of developmental delay.
