- W4283275594 abstract "STXBP1 encodes syntaxin-binding protein 1, a brain-expressed membrane trafficking protein that facilitates presynaptic vesicle docking in neurotransmission. Heterozygous loss-of-function variants were originally associated with infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE4, OMIM #612164),1 with the phenotype later expanding to include a wide range of severe epilepsies, intellectual disability, and other neurodevelopmental disorders.2 Movement disorders including ataxia, tremor, dyskinesia, dystonia, bruxism and stereotypies have been described, though nearly always accompanied by epilepsy and intellectual disability.2 We report a child with an STXBP1 stop-loss variant, who presented with an infantile onset complex movement disorder without epilepsy and only mild cognitive difficulties. Now adopted, he was born to non-consanguineous parents. His birth parents both have a history of epilepsy and learning difficulties; in addition, his father has dystonia and tremor, and paternal grandmother had dystonia. His older biological sister has learning difficulties, joint hypermobility and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but no movement disorder or epilepsy. Following a normal pregnancy and birth, tremor was evident from 6 weeks of age, rhythmic rocking movements from 6 months, and his development was delayed; he walked independently at 4 years and first words were noted from 2 years of age. He has writing difficulties and frequent falls which cause injury. His tremor is worsened by anxiety, fatigue or heightened emotion and later in the day his posture becomes crouched. His sleep pattern is disrupted with lower limb night cramps. He attends a mainstream school where he has extra support including speech and language therapy. He has additional diagnoses of ADHD, autistic spectrum disorder and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Trials of Levodopa, Trihexyphenidyl and Levetiracetam had no perceived benefit and were discontinued. Melatonin has been effective in improving sleep. Examination at age 9 years revealed marked action-induced tremor of both arms and hands and intermittent dystonic finger posturing, tremulous tongue movements and difficulty on tandem walking (Video 1). Using established methods,3 whole genome sequencing using a broad neurology panel of 3447 genes revealed a novel heterozygous stop-loss variant in STXBP1 [NM_001032221.6] c.1783 T > C, p.(*595Glnext*67), predicting abolition of the stop codon and addition of 67 amino acid residues at the C-terminus. The variant, confirmed by Sanger sequencing, is absent from gnomAD. Segregation studies were not possible due to familial estrangement. No other pathogenic variants were identified. MRI brain and spine scans age 1, 3, and 5 years showed only mild hypomyelination at 3 years. Prior genetic testing for microarray CGH, fragile X single-gene testing, and clinical exome analysis of panels for ataxia, dystonia and hyperkinesia were negative (N.B. STXBP1 was not included in these gene panels), and neurometabolic investigations on blood, urine, and CSF were non-diagnostic (Supplementary Information). EEG showed no epileptiform discharges. Experimental animal models including expression of human disease variants in mice suggest that STXBP1-encephalopathy is related to haploinsufficiency rather than a dominant-negative mechanism.4 Stop-loss mutations are an infrequent but recognized mechanism of genetic disease, not previously reported in STXBP1.5 The downstream consequences of the stop-loss variant are unclear, but may include putative loss-of-function effects impacting protein folding, subcellular location or substrate binding due to protein elongation. We propose this variant as the likely cause of disease in this patient due to phenotypic overlap, lack of alternative cause on detailed genetic analysis, and haploinsufficiency intolerance of the gene. However, population databases indicate that stop-loss changes are less selected against than other nonsense variants.6 Segregation analysis was not possible, but given the expanding spectrum of STXBP1-related disease, it can be speculated that one of the proband's parents may also harbor this same variant, which may explain some or all of their difficulties. Although STXBP1-related disorder is strongly associated with epilepsy (95%) and severe/profound intellectual disability (88%),2, 7 our case had no history of seizures and only mild cognitive difficulties. To date, movement disorders without epilepsy are only rarely reported in STXBP1-related disease and all described cases have severe ID: 3 girls with ataxia and tremor8; one individual with spasticity and tremor9; and one with tremor with myoclonus10 (Table 1). A recent description bringing together 534 cases of STXBP1-related disorders using Human Phenotype Ontology terms has revealed a broader phenotype; ataxia and tremor are common (25% and 24% of cohort respectively) and seizures are described in 89%, but the combined lack of epilepsy or severe learning difficulties remains rare.5 Our case expands the proposed genotype of STXBP1-related disease and illustrates the emerging milder phenotype without epilepsy or significant intellectual disability; it also highlights the importance of including STXBP1 in movement disorder gene panels for diagnostic next-generation sequencing analysis.
