Expanding Phenotype of ATP1A3 - Related Disorders: A Case Series

ABSTRACT: 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.

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 the phenotype of reciprocal 1q21.1 deletions and duplications: a case series.

Project description:Recurrent reciprocal 1q21.1 deletions and duplications have been associated with variable phenotypes. Phenotypic features described in association with 1q21.1 microdeletions include developmental delay, craniofacial dysmorphism and congenital anomalies. The 1q21.1 reciprocal duplication has been associated with macrocephaly or relative macrocephaly, frontal bossing, hypertelorism, developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder.Our study describes seven patients, who were referred to us for developmental delay/intellectual disability, dysmorphic features and, in some cases, congenital anomalies, in whom we identified 1q21.1 CNVs by array-CGH.Our data confirm the extreme phenotypic variability associated with 1q21.1 microdeletion and microduplication. We observed common phenotypic features, described in previous studies, but we also described, for the first time, congenital hypothyroidism in association with 1q21.1 deletion and trigonocephaly associated with 1q21.1 duplication.The aim of this study is to contribute to the definition of the phenotype associated with reciprocal 1q21.1 deletions and duplications.

Genetically altered animal models for ATP1A3-related disorders.

Project description: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:Pathogenic MAGEL2 variants result in the phenotypes of Chitayat-Hall syndrome (CHS), Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS) and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). We present five patients with mutations in MAGEL2, including the first patient reported with a missense variant, adding to the limited literature. Further, we performed a systematic review of the CHS and SYS literature, assess the overlap between CHS, SYS and PWS, and analyze genotype-phenotype correlations among them. We conclude that there is neither a clinical nor etiological difference between CHS and SYS, and propose that the two syndromes simply be referred to as MAGEL2-related disorders.

Expanding the phenotype of CACNA1C mutation disorders.

Project description:BackgroundPathogenic variants in the L-type Ca2+ channel gene CACNA1C cause a multi-system disorder that includes severe long QT syndrome (LQTS), congenital heart disease, dysmorphic facial features, syndactyly, abnormal immune function, and neuropsychiatric disorders, collectively known as Timothy syndrome. In 2015, a variant in CACNA1C (p.R518C) was reported to cause cardiac-only Timothy syndrome, a genetic disorder with a mixed phenotype of congenital heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and LQTS that lacked extra-cardiac features. We have identified a family harboring the p.R518C pathogenic variant with a wider spectrum of clinical manifestations.MethodsA four-generation family harboring the p.R518C pathogenic variant was reviewed in detail. The proband and his paternal great-uncle underwent comprehensive cardiac gene panel testing, and his remaining family members underwent cascade testing for the p.R518C pathogenic variant.ResultsIn addition to displaying cardinal features of CACNA1C disorders including LQTS, congenital heart disease, HCM, and sudden cardiac death, family members manifested atrial fibrillation and sick sinus syndrome.ConclusionOur report expands the cardiac phenotype of CACNA1C variants and reflects the variable expressivity of mutations in the L-type Ca2+ channel.

Cardiac phenotype in <i>ATP1A3</i>-related syndromes: A multicenter cohort study.

Project description:ObjectiveTo define the risks and consequences of cardiac abnormalities in ATP1A3-related syndromes.MethodsPatients meeting clinical diagnostic criteria for rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP), alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), and cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) with ATP1A3 genetic analysis and at least 1 cardiac assessment were included. We evaluated the cardiac phenotype in an Atp1a3 knock-in mouse (Mashl+/-) to determine the sequence of events in seizure-related cardiac death.ResultsNinety-eight patients with AHC, 9 with RDP, and 3 with CAPOS (63 female, mean age 17 years) were included. Resting ECG abnormalities were found in 52 of 87 (60%) with AHC, 2 of 3 (67%) with CAPOS, and 6 of 9 (67%) with RDP. Serial ECGs showed dynamic changes in 10 of 18 patients with AHC. The first Holter ECG was abnormal in 24 of 65 (37%) cases with AHC and RDP with either repolarization or conduction abnormalities. Echocardiography was normal. Cardiac intervention was required in 3 of 98 (≈3%) patients with AHC. In the mouse model, resting ECGs showed intracardiac conduction delay; during induced seizures, heart block or complete sinus arrest led to death.ConclusionsWe found increased prevalence of ECG dynamic abnormalities in all ATP1A3-related syndromes, with a risk of life-threatening cardiac rhythm abnormalities equivalent to that in established cardiac channelopathies (≈3%). Sudden cardiac death due to conduction abnormality emerged as a seizure-related outcome in murine Atp1a3-related disease. ATP1A3-related syndromes are cardiac diseases and neurologic diseases. We provide guidance to identify patients potentially at higher risk of sudden cardiac death who may benefit from insertion of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

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 ?3 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.

Expanding clinical phenotype in CACNA1C related disorders: From neonatal onset severe epileptic encephalopathy to late-onset epilepsy.

Project description:CACNA1C (NM_000719.6) encodes an L-type calcium voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav 1.2), and pathogenic variants have been associated with two distinct clinical entities: Timothy syndrome and Brugada syndrome. Thus far, CACNA1C has not been reported as a gene associated with epileptic encephalopathy and is less commonly associated with epilepsy. We report three individuals from two families with variants in CACNA1C. Patient 1 presented with neonatal onset epileptic encephalopathy (NOEE) and was found to have a de novo missense variant in CACNA1C (c.4087G>A (p.V1363M)) on exome sequencing. In Family 2, Patient 2 presented with congenital cardiac anomalies and cardiomyopathy and was found to have a paternally inherited splice site variant, c.3717+1_3717+2insA, on a cardiomyopathy panel. Her father, Patient 3, presented with learning difficulties, late-onset epilepsy, and congenital cardiac anomalies. Family 2 highlights variable expressivity seen within a family. This case series expands the clinical and molecular phenotype of CACNA1C-related disorders and highlights the need to include CACNA1C on epilepsy gene panels.
