This study aims to review WES results and its value in diagnosing neurological disorders. A retrospective chart review was performed for WES results between the period of January 2018 to November 2019. Whole exome sequencing was requested for children with unexplained neurological signs and symptoms such as epilepsy, developmental delay, visual impairment, spasticity, hypotonia and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain changes. It was conducted for children in a pediatric neurology clinic of a tertiary center at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Twenty-six children with undiagnosed neurological conditions were identified and underwent WES diagnosis. Nineteen patients (73.0%) of the cohort were diagnosed with pathogenic variants, likely pathogenic variants or variants of unknown significance (VUS). Consanguinity was positive in 18 families of the cohort (69.0%). Seven patients showed homozygous mutations. Five patients had heterozygous mutations.

There was no significant difference (<i>p</i> >0.05) in the allelic frequencies of polymorphic variants and genotype distributions between adult and older patients and between patients of different ethnicities. Our study did not detect a statistically significant influence of the <i>CYP2B6</i> (c.516G>A), <i>GABRA1</i> (c.1059+15G>A) and <i>ABCB1</i> (c.3435T>C) variants on the variability of clinical parameters (doses for induction in anesthesia, additional doses, induction time and wake time after anesthesia and side effects of propofol). However, the observed trend on the possible influence of the <i>CYP2B6</i> (c.516G>A) and <i>GABRA1</i> (c.1059+15G>A) variants warrant an extension of these studies on a larger number of patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":55403,"journal":{"name":"Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c9/87/bjmg-23-041.PMC8009561.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25558543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
