Abstract
Background
ATP6V1B2 (ATPase, H+ transporting, lysosomal VI subunit B, isoform 2) encodes for a subunit of a ubiquitous transmembrane lysosomal proton pump, implicated in the acidification of intracellular organelles and in several additional cellular functions. Variants in ATP6V1B2 have been related to a heterogeneous group of multisystemic disorders sometimes associated with variable neurological involvement. However, our knowledge of genotype-phenotype correlations and the neurological spectrum of ATP6V1B2-related disorders remain limited due to the few numbers of reported cases.
Case study
We hereby report the case of an 18-year-old male Sicilian patient affected by a global developmental delay, skeletal abnormalities, and epileptic encephalopathy featuring Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), in which exome sequencing led to the identification of a novel de novo variant in ATP6V1B2 (NM_001693.4: c.973G > C, p.Gly325Arg).
Conclusions
Our report provides new insights on the inclusion of developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) within the continuum group of ATP6V1B2-related disorders, expanding the phenotypic and molecular spectrum associated with these conditions.
