Abstract
Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of early-onset syndromic disorders characterized by varying degree of intellectual disability, autism spectrum, seizures, and developmental delay. Herein, we have clinically and genetically dissected three siblings from Turkey with DEE born to first cousin unaffected parents. We identified a homozygous pathogenic variant in ELP2 (ENST00000358232.11:c.1385G>A; p.(Arg462Gln)). Our results, together with in depth literature review, underlie the importance of codon encoding the arginine at position 462 as a hotspot for ELP2 related neurological phenotypes.
期刊介绍:
Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
