Whole Exome Sequencing Based Diagnostics in Complex Childhood Epilepsy Syndromes-A Cohort Study on Clinical Utility.
Studies from the subcontinent on the utility of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in electro-clinical phenotypes of childhood-onset drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) syndromes, particularly the developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE), are rare in the literature. Patients with DRE phenotypes of presumed genetic etiology with an age of onset of epilepsy < 12 years, with/without developmental encephalopathy, were included in this study. Our study cohort (N = 175) included 158 trios, 6 duos, and 11 proband-only samples. Age at onset of seizures was ≤ 3 years in 76.6% and > 3 years in 23.4%, with developmental delay noted in 80.6% of the cohort. The overall yield of pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in WES was 38.9% (68/175, 19 were novel); for trio-WES it was 41.1%. Predominantly de novo variants accounted for 45 out of 68 cases (66.2%), and the most frequent disease-causing variants were missense (74%). Younger age at onset of epilepsy, female gender and electroclinical diagnosis of Dravet syndrome were associated with a higher yield as opposed to focal epilepsies. Precision medicine was considered tenable in 25/68 (36.8%) cases. Our study reveals a significant yield of trio-WES for de novo variants in childhood-onset DRE/DEE. Female gender, early age at onset, and specific electro-clinical phenotypes have a higher likelihood of identifying a monogenic etiology.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Genetics links research to the clinic, translating advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of genetic disease for the practising clinical geneticist. The journal publishes high quality research papers, short reports, reviews and mini-reviews that connect medical genetics research with clinical practice.
Topics of particular interest are:
• Linking genetic variations to disease
• Genome rearrangements and disease
• Epigenetics and disease
• The translation of genotype to phenotype
• Genetics of complex disease
• Management/intervention of genetic diseases
• Novel therapies for genetic diseases
• Developmental biology, as it relates to clinical genetics
• Social science research on the psychological and behavioural aspects of living with or being at risk of genetic disease
