Gain-of-function variants in GABRD reveal a novel pathway for neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy

Philip K. Ahring et al.

Summary: This study identified variants in the GABRD gene that are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy. These variants alter the function of GABA receptors and are closely related to the clinical phenotypes of the affected individuals. The findings suggest that gain-of-function variants lead to symptoms such as neurodevelopmental disorders, epilepsy, and cognitive impairment, while loss-of-function variants are associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Structural mapping of GABRB3 variants reveals genotype-phenotype correlations

Katrine M. Johannesen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed a large cohort of individuals with GABRB3 variants to investigate the phenotypic understanding and genotype-phenotype correlations. The results showed a wide spectrum of phenotypes associated with different structural locations of the variants. The genotype-phenotype correlations will aid in genetic counseling and treatment, and future studies may reveal functional differences underlying the phenotypic differences.

Genotype-phenotype correlations in SCN8A-related disorders reveal prognostic and therapeutic implications

Katrine M. Johannesen et al.

Summary: This study provides detailed functional analyses and genotype-phenotype correlations in individuals carrying disease-causing variants in SCN8A. The results reveal the clinical phenotypes related to the functional effects and the correlation between the age at seizure onset, type of epilepsy, and the gain- or loss-of-function effects of SCN8A variants.

Characterization of the GABRB2-Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Christelle M. el Achkar et al.

Summary: The phenotypic spectrum of GABRB2-related epilepsy ranges broadly, from genetic generalized epilepsy to developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Most individuals have pharmacoresistant epilepsy, with inconsistent response to medications targeting the GABAergic pathway. Developmental disability and movement disorder are key features.

Contribution of rare genetic variants to drug response in absence epilepsy

Kenneth A. Myers et al.

Summary: Rare genetic variants in CACNA1H do not significantly predict response to ETX in absence epilepsy patients, while there is an increased frequency of rare GABA-receptor gene variants in this patient population. Larger sample sizes are needed to further investigate the role of CACNA1H variants in predicting lack of response to ETX, and the enrichment of rare GABA-receptor variants suggests potential involvement of GABA receptor dysfunction in the pathophysiology of absence epilepsy.

Refining Genotypes and Phenotypes in KCNA2-Related Neurological Disorders

Jan H. Doering et al.

Summary: Pathogenic variants in KCNA2 gene can lead to a range of neurological disorders with diverse clinical manifestations, including early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, intellectual disability, and movement disorders. Individuals with different types of variants may exhibit distinct clinical features, with carriers of complex and mixed channel dysfunction variants more likely to show early symptoms.

Common molecular mechanisms of SLC6A1 variant-mediated neurodevelopmental disorders in astrocytes and neurons

Felicia Mermer et al.

Summary: SLC6A1 gene variants are associated with a spectrum of epilepsy syndromes and neurodevelopmental disorders. The major disease mechanism appears to be impaired transporter protein trafficking and surface expression, leading to reduced GABA uptake. Abnormal subcellular localization, endoplasmic reticulum retention, and decreased cell surface expression of variant GAT-1 proteins are common findings, suggesting that boosting transporter function could be beneficial for therapeutic development.
