Autosomal dominant sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy associated with a novel mutation of KCNT1

Abstract: Autosomal dominant sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (ADSHE) is characterized by severe sleep-related rigid hypermotor seizures. The pathogenic genes of ADSHE include genes encoding subunits of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, KCNT1, DEPDC5, NPRL2/3, CABP4, and CRH. Individuals with KCNT1-related ADSHE are more likely to develop seizures at a younger age, have cognitive comorbidity, and display psychiatric and behavioral problems. In this study, a 12-year-old Chinese girl was referred for genetic evaluation of grand mal seizures. She had paroxysmal convulsions of the limbs and loss of consciousness just after falling asleep without obvious triggers. A novel heterozygous missense mutation c.2797C > T (p.Arg933Cys) in exon 24 of the KCNT1 was identified in the proband by whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing, and the clinical symptoms were compatible with ADSHE. The proband’s father has been showing similar symptoms for more than 20 years and had the same site mutation. Her mother and sister were physically and genetically normal. The study revealed a novel variant in the KCNT1 and expanded the mutation spectrum for this clinical condition. Our results provide further evidence supporting a causative role in KCNT1 variants in ADSHE.
