Progressive myoclonic epilepsy as an expanding phenotype of NGLY1-associated congenital deglycosylation disorder: A case report and review of the literature.
European Journal of Medical Genetics 2023 December 8
INTRODUCTION: NGLY1-associated congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG1: OMIM #615273) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a functional impairment of endoplasmic reticulum in degradation of glycoproteins. Neurocognitive dysfunctions have been documented in patients with CDDG1; however, deteriorating phenotypes of affected individuals remain elusive.
CASE PRESENTATION: A Japanese boy with delayed psychomotor development showed ataxic movements from age 5 years and myoclonic seizures from age 12 years. Appetite loss, motor and cognitive decline became evident at age 12 years. Electrophysiological studies identified paroxysmal discharges on myoclonic seizure and a giant somatosensory-evoked potential. Perampanel was effective for controlling myoclonic seizures. Exome sequencing revealed that the patient carried compound heterozygous variants in NGLY1, NM_018297.4: c.857G > A and c.-17_12del, which were inherited from mother and father, respectively. A literature review confirmed that myoclonic seizures were observed in 28.5% of patients with epilepsy. No other patients had progressive myoclonic epilepsy or cognitive decline in association with loss-of-function variations in NGLY1.
CONCLUSION: Our data provides evidence that a group of patients with CDDG1 manifest slowly progressive myoclonic epilepsy and cognitive decline during the long-term clinical course.
