Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to determine the genotype and phenotype correlations for the SMARCA2 gene in epilepsy patients.
Method
We analysed the genotype-phenotype correlations of 24 patients in our cohort and evaluated 46 epilepsy patients from published studies.
Results
In our cohort, 21 variants were identified in 24 patients. Two variants, p.P883L and p.G853R, were identified in two patients. 21 variants were de novo, and 17 were novel. Seizure onset ages ranged from 1 day to 75 months (median age: 15 months). The predominant seizure type was focal seizures (60.9 %). Five patients were diagnosed with developmental epileptic encephalopathy. In our cohort, 52.8 % of epilepsy patients had dental diseases, including widely spaced teeth, fused teeth, and hypodontia. Collectively, in the published studies and our cohort of patients with SMARCA2 variants, 77.3 % (51/66) of the variants were located in the SNF2-ATPase domain. Seizures were controlled in 45.8 % (11/24) of the patients in our cohort by valproate or levetiracetam.
Interpretation
The variations in SMARCA2 in epilepsy patients were predominantly located in the SNF2-ATPase domain. The clinical features of SMARCA2-related epilepsy include seizure onset in infancy, and focal seizures. Dental abnormalities are among the significant phenotypes observed in patients with SMARCA2 variants.
