The phenotype of SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Abstract: developmental and epileptic encephalopathy has strikingly consistent electroclinical features, suggesting a global progressive brain dysfunction primarily affecting the temporo-occipital regions. Both uncontrolled epilepsy and developmental compromise contribute to the profound impairment (increasing risk of death) during early childhood, but stabilization occurs in late childhood.

“…However, it is important to note that many of the patients suffering from severe SCN8A DEE are unable to walk autonomously. Furthermore, the patients in this intermediate cohort do not suffer from the spasticity and paraplegia or the extrapyramidal/cerebellar symptoms that up to 50% of the severe DEE patients do . A few patients in this cohort (8%) had dyskinesia, which is also seen in both severe DEEs and BFIS families.…”

“…11 Both variants completely eliminate channel activity, indicating that the affected residues are essential for channel function. 7 It cannot be excluded that other rare genetic variants may contribute to the observed phenotypes. Depolarizing shifts of voltage-dependent activation in the R1638C mutation reduce the number of channels available to open at any membrane voltage and thereby reduce neuronal excitability.…”

“…1,7,8 Severe SCN8A DEE (Mendelian Inheritance in Man EIEE13) is characterized by intractable seizures with an average age at seizure onset of 4 months, cognitive deterioration, pyramidal/extrapyramidal signs, progressive cerebral atrophy, and visual impairment leading to cortical blindness. [7][8][9] All affected individuals described to date are monoallelic (heterozygous) carriers of a gain-of-function (GOF) or loss-of-function (LOF) variant in combination with a wild-type (WT) allele. Epileptic myoclonus, spasm-like episodes, and recurrent convulsive status epilepticus are frequently observed.…”
