STXBP1 encephalopathy: A neurodevelopmental disorder including epilepsy.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To give a comprehensive overview of the phenotypic and genetic spectrum of STXBP1 encephalopathy (STXBP1-E) by systematically reviewing newly diagnosed and previously reported patients. METHODS We recruited newly diagnosed patients with STXBP1 mutations through an international network of clinicians and geneticists. Furthermore, we performed a systematic literature search to review the phenotypes of all previously reported patients. RESULTS We describe the phenotypic features of 147 patients with STXBP1-E including 45 previously unreported patients with 33 novel STXBP1 mutations. All patients have intellectual disability (ID), which is mostly severe to profound (88%). Ninety-five percent of patients have epilepsy. While one-third of patients presented with Ohtahara syndrome (21%) or West syndrome (9.5%), the majority has a nonsyndromic early-onset epilepsy and encephalopathy (53%) with epileptic spasms or tonic seizures as main seizure type. We found no correlation between severity of seizures and severity of ID or between mutation type and seizure characteristics or cognitive outcome. Neurologic comorbidities including autistic features and movement disorders are frequent. We also report 2 previously unreported adult patients with prominent extrapyramidal features. CONCLUSION De novo STXBP1 mutations are among the most frequent causes of epilepsy and encephalopathy. Most patients have severe to profound ID with little correlation among seizure onset, seizure severity, and the degree of ID. Accordingly, we hypothesize that seizure severity and ID present 2 independent dimensions of the STXBP1-E phenotype. STXBP1-E may be conceptualized as a complex neurodevelopmental disorder rather than a primary epileptic encephalopathy.

Objective To expand the clinical phenotype associated with STXBP1 gene mutations and to understand the effect of STXBP1 mutations in the pathogenesis of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Methods Patients with STXBP1 mutations were identified in various ways: as part of a retrospective cohort study of epileptic encephalopathy; through clinical referrals of individuals (10,619) with developmental...
متن کاملAssociation of genomic deletions in the STXBP1 gene with Ohtahara syndrome.
To the Editor : Ohtahara syndrome (OS) is characterized by early-onset of seizures, suppression-burst patterns on electroencephalogram (EEG), and severe psychomotor retardation (1–3). De novo mutations in the STXBP1 gene, including various point mutations and one complete deletion, have been found in about one-third of Japanese cases of cryptogenic OS (4–6). However, the clinical spectrum of ST...
متن کاملGenomic Context Analysis of de Novo STXBP1 Mutations Identifies Evidence of Splice Site DNA-Motif Associated Hotspots
Mutations within STXBP1 have been associated with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders implicating the pleotropic impact of this gene. Although the frequency of de novo mutations within STXBP1 for selective cohorts with early onset epileptic encephalopathy is more than 1%, there is no evidence for a hotspot within the gene. In this study, we analyzed the genomic context of de novo STXBP1 mut...

STXBP1 HAPLOINSUFFICIENCY IN EARLY ONSET EPILEPTIC ENCEPHALOPATHY Early onset epileptic encephalopathies that occur in very early childhood are rare but particularly catastrophic forms of epilepsy that are invariably associated with significant neurological morbidity (Nordli, 2012). Mutations in the Syntaxin Binding Protein 1 (STXBP1) gene have been linked with two distinct but related forms of...

A wide range of clinical findings have been associated with mutations in Syntaxin Binding Protein 1 (STXBP1), including multiple forms of epilepsy, nonsyndromic intellectual disability, and movement disorders. STXBP1 mutations have recently been associated with mitochondrial pathology, although it remains unclear if this phenotype is a part of the core feature for this gene disorder. We report ...
