Issue Date: | 12-Mar-2014 | Publication information: | Neurology 2014; 82(14): 1245-53 | Abstract: | To determine the genes underlying Dravet syndrome in patients who do not have an SCN1A mutation on routine testing.We performed whole-exome sequencing in 13 SCN1A-negative patients with Dravet syndrome and targeted resequencing in 67 additional patients to identify new genes for this disorder.We detected disease-causing mutations in 2 novel genes for Dravet syndrome, with mutations in GABRA1 in 4 cases and STXBP1 in 3. Furthermore, we identified 3 patients with previously undetected SCN1A mutations, suggesting that SCN1A mutations occur in even more than the currently accepted ∼ 75% of cases.We show that GABRA1 and STXBP1 make a significant contribution to Dravet syndrome after SCN1A abnormalities have been excluded. Our results have important implications for diagnostic testing, clinical management, and genetic counseling of patients with this devastating disorder and their families. | Gov't Doc #: | 24623842 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/12124 | DOI: | 10.1212/WNL.0000000000000291 | Journal: | Neurology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24623842 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adolescent Adult Child Child, Preschool Epilepsies, Myoclonic.genetics Female Genetic Predisposition to Disease.genetics Humans Male Munc18 Proteins.genetics Mutation.genetics Nerve Tissue Proteins.genetics Receptors, GABA-A.genetics Young Adult |
