Genetically altered animal models for ATP1A3-related disorders.

ABSTRACT: Within the past 20 years, particularly with the advent of exome sequencing technologies, autosomal dominant and de novo mutations in the gene encoding the neurone-specific α3 subunit of the Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA α3) pump, ATP1A3, have been identified as the cause of a phenotypic continuum of rare neurological disorders. These allelic disorders of ATP1A3 include (in approximate order of severity/disability and onset in childhood development): polymicrogyria; alternating hemiplegia of childhood; cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy and sensorineural hearing loss syndrome; relapsing encephalopathy with cerebellar ataxia; and rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism. Some patients present intermediate, atypical or combined phenotypes. As these disorders are currently difficult to treat, there is an unmet need for more effective therapies. The molecular mechanisms through which mutations in ATP1A3 result in a broad range of neurological symptoms are poorly understood. However, in vivo comparative studies using genetically altered model organisms can provide insight into the biological consequences of the disease-causing mutations in NKA α3. Herein, we review the existing mouse, zebrafish, Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans models used to study ATP1A3-related disorders, and discuss their potential contribution towards the understanding of disease mechanisms and development of novel therapeutics.

Project description:The Na+/K+ ATPases are Sodium-Potassium exchanging pumps, with a heteromeric α-β-γ protein complex. The α3 isoform is required as a rescue pump, after repeated action potentials, with a distribution predominantly in neurons of the central nervous system. This isoform is encoded by the ATP1A3 gene. Pathogenic variants in this gene have been implicated in several phenotypes in the last decades. Carriers of pathogenic variants in this gene manifest neurological and non-neurological features in many combinations, usually with an acute onset and paroxysmal episodes triggered by fever or other factors. The first three syndromes described were: (1) rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism; (2) alternating hemiplegia of childhood; and, (3) cerebellar ataxia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS syndrome). Since their original description, an expanding number of cases presenting with atypical and overlapping features have been reported. Because of this, ATP1A3-disorders are now beginning to be viewed as a phenotypic continuum representing discrete expressions along a broadly heterogeneous clinical spectrum.

Expanding Phenotype of <i>ATP1A3</i> - Related Disorders: A Case Series.

Project description:Neurologic disorders caused by mutations in the ATP1A3 gene were originally reported as three distinct rare clinical syndromes: Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC), Rapid-onset Dystonia Parkinsonism (RDP) and Cerebellar ataxia, Areflexia, Pes cavus, Opticus atrophy and Sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS). In this case series, we describe 3 patients. A mother and her daughter showed an intermediate phenotype different from each other with the same heterozygous missense mutation (p.[R756C]), recently described in literature as Relapsing Encephalopathy With Cerebellar Ataxia (RECA). In addition, a third patient showed an intermediate AHC-RDP phenotype and had a likely pathogenic novel de novo missense mutation (p.[L100 V]). These patients support the growing evidence that AHC, RDP and RECA are part of a continuous ATP1A3 mutation spectrum that is still expanding. Three common features were a sudden onset, asymmetrical neurological symptoms, as well as the presence of triggering factors. When present, the authors argue to perform exome sequencing in an early stage.

Animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:Modeling of human neuropsychiatric disorders in animals is extremely challenging given the subjective nature of many symptoms, the lack of biomarkers and objective diagnostic tests, and the early state of the relevant neurobiology and genetics. Nonetheless, progress in understanding pathophysiology and in treatment development would benefit greatly from improved animal models. Here we review the current state of animal models of mental illness, with a focus on schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder. We argue for areas of focus that might increase the likelihood of creating more useful models, at least for some disorders, and for explicit guidelines when animal models are reported.

Animal models of eating disorders.

Project description:Feeding is a fundamental process for basic survival and is influenced by genetics and environmental stressors. Recent advances in our understanding of behavioral genetics have provided a profound insight on several components regulating eating patterns. However, our understanding of eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating, is still poor. The animal model is an essential tool in the investigation of eating behaviors and their pathological forms, yet development of an appropriate animal model for eating disorders still remains challenging due to our limited knowledge and some of the more ambiguous clinical diagnostic measures. Therefore, this review will serve to focus on the basic clinical features of eating disorders and the current advances in animal models of eating disorders.

Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of ATP1A3-Related Disorders in a Korean Pediatric Population.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The aim of this study was to expand the understanding of the genotype-phenotype spectrum of ATP1A3-related disorders and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a ketogenic diet in patients with alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC). METHODS:The clinical information of 13 patients with ATP1A3 mutations was analyzed by performing retrospective chart reviews. Patients with the AHC phenotype who consented to ketogenic diet were included in the trial. RESULTS:Ten patients presented with the clinical phenotype of AHC, two patients presented with rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism, and one patient presented with cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss. Two novel mutations of the AHC phenotype were identified: p.Ile363Thr and p.Asn743Ser. The clinical phenotypes of three mutations differed from those in previous reports: p.Arg597Pro, p.Thr769Pro, and p.Arg756Cys. One of the two patients who started a ketogenic diet experienced seizure provocation and so immediate stopped consuming the diet, while the other patient continued the ketogenic diet for 1 year, but this produced no clear benefit such as reduction of paroxysmal symptoms. CONCLUSIONS:Our study is the first case series of ATP1A3-related disorders to be described in Korea and which further expands the understanding of its genotype-phenotype spectrum. A ketogenic diet showed no clear benefit for the patients with AHC.

Distinct neurological disorders with ATP1A3 mutations.

Project description:Genetic research has shown that mutations that modify the protein-coding sequence of ATP1A3, the gene encoding the α3 subunit of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, cause both rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism and alternating hemiplegia of childhood. These discoveries link two clinically distinct neurological diseases to the same gene, however, ATP1A3 mutations are, with one exception, disease-specific. Although the exact mechanism of how these mutations lead to disease is still unknown, much knowledge has been gained about functional consequences of ATP1A3 mutations using a range of in-vitro and animal model systems, and the role of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPases in the brain. Researchers and clinicians are attempting to further characterise neurological manifestations associated with mutations in ATP1A3, and to build on the existing molecular knowledge to understand how specific mutations can lead to different diseases.

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood: a distinct clinical entity and ATP1A3-related disorders: A narrative review.

Project description:Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a rare disorder with onset in the first 18 months of life characterized by stereotyped paroxysmal manifestations of tonic and dystonic attacks, nystagmus with other oculomotor abnormalities, respiratory and autonomic dysfunctions. AHC is often associated with epileptic seizures and developmental delay. Hemiplegic paroxysm is the most remarkable symptom, although AHC includes a large series of clinical manifestations that interfere with the disease course. No cure is available and the treatment involves many specialists and therapies. Flunarizine is the most commonly used drug for reducing the frequency and intensity of paroxysmal events. Mutations in ATP1A2, particularly in ATP1A3, are the main genes responsible for AHC. Some disorders caused by ATP1A3 variants have been defined as ATP1A3-related disorders, including rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, sensorineural hearing loss, early infant epileptic encephalopathy, child rapid-onset ataxia, and relapsing encephalopathy with cerebellar ataxia. Recently, the term ATP1A3 syndrome has been identified as a fever-induced paroxysmal weakness and encephalopathy, slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, childhood-onset schizophrenia/autistic spectrum disorder, paroxysmal dyskinesia, cerebral palsy/spastic paraparesis, dystonia, dysmorphism, encephalopathy, MRI abnormalities without hemiplegia, and congenital hydrocephalus. Herewith, we discussed about historical annotations of AHC, symptoms, signs and associated morbidities, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and genetics. We also reported on the ATP1A3-related disorders and ATP1A3 syndrome, as 2 recently established and expanded genetic clinical entities.

Research conference summary from the 2014 International Task Force on <i>ATP1A3</i>-Related Disorders.

Project description:ObjectiveATP1A3-related neurologic disorders encompass a broad range of phenotypes that extend well beyond initial phenotypic criteria associated with alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) and rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism.MethodsIn 2014, the Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Foundation hosted a multidisciplinary workshop intended to address fundamental challenges surrounding the diagnosis and management of individuals with ATP1A3-related disorders.ResultsWorkshop attendees were charged with the following: (1) to achieve consensus on expanded diagnostic criteria to facilitate the identification of additional patients, intended to supplement existing syndrome-specific diagnostic paradigms; (2) to standardize definitions for the broad range of paroxysmal manifestations associated with AHC to disseminate to families; (3) to create clinical recommendations for common recurrent issues facing families and medical care providers; (4) to review data related to the death of individuals in the Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood Foundation database to guide future efforts in identifying at-risk subjects and potential preventative measures; and (5) to identify critical gaps where we most need to focus national and international research efforts.ConclusionsThis report summarizes recommendations of the workshop committee, highlighting the key phenotypic features to facilitate the diagnosis of possible ATP1A3 mutations, providing recommendations for genetic testing, and outlining initial acute management for common recurrent clinical conditions, including epilepsy.
