- W4385476409 abstract "Epileptic encephalopathies (EEs) are a group of heterogeneous epileptic syndromes characterized by early-onset refractory seizures, specific EEG abnormalities, developmental delay or regression and intellectual disability. The genetic spectrum of EE is very wide with mutations in a number of genes having various functions, such as those encoding AMPA ionotropic and glutamate receptors as well as voltage-gated ion channels. However, the list of EE-responsible genes could certainly be enlarged by next-generation sequencing.The present study reports a clinical investigation and a molecular analysis by the whole exome sequencing (WES) and pyrosequencing of a patient's family affected by epileptic spasms and severe psychomotor delay.Clinical and radiological investigations revealed that the patient presented clinical features of severe and drug-resistant EE-type infantile epileptic spasm syndrome that evolved to Lennox Gastaut syndrome with radiological findings of hypomyelinated leukodystrophy. The results of WES revealed the presence of a novel heterozygous c.466C>T mutation in exon 4 of the TUBB4A gene in the patient. This transition led to the replacement of arginine by cysteine at position 156 (p.R156C) of the conserved helix 4 among the N-terminal domain of the TUBB4A protein. Bioinformatic tools predicted its deleterious effects on the structural arrangement and stability of the protein. The presence of the mutation in the asymptomatic father suggested the hypothesis of somatic mosaicism that was tested by pyrosequencing of DNA from two tissues of the patient and her father. The obtained results showed a lower rate of mutated alleles in the asymptomatic father compared with the affected daughter in both lymphocytes and buccal mucosa cells, confirming the occurrence of paternal mosaicism. The phenotypic features of the patient were also compared with those of previously described patients presenting TUBB4A mutations.Our study is the first to report a disease-causing variant in the TUBB4A gene in a patient with EE associated with hypomyelinated leucodystrophy. In addition, we expanded the phenotypic spectrum associated with the TUBB4A gene." @default.
