Novel Mutation of SIK1 Gene Causing a Mild Form of Pediatric Epilepsy in a Chinese Patient
Metabolic brain disease(2022)
摘要
Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) is a group of disorders affecting children at early stages of infancy, which is characterized by frequent seizures, epileptiform activity on EEG, and developmental delayor regression. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-30 (DEE30) is a severe neurologic disorder characterized by onset of refractory seizures soon after birth or in the first months of life. Which was recently found to be caused by heterozygous mutations in the salt-inducible kinase SIK1. In this study, we investigated a patient with early onset epilepsy. DNA sequencing of the whole coding region revealed a de novel heterozygous nucleotide substitution (c.880G > A) causing a missense mutation (p.A294T). This mutation was classified as variant of unknown significance (VUS) by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). To further investigate the pathogenicity and pathogenesis of this mutation, we established a human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y) stably-expressing wild type SIK1 and A294T mutant, and compared the transcriptome and metabolomics profiles. We presented a pediatric patient suffering from infantile onset epilepsy. Early EEG showed a boundary dysfunction of activity and MRI scan of the brain was normal. The patient responded well to single anti-epileptic drug treatment. Whole-exome sequencing found a missense mutation of SIK1 gene (c.880G > A chr21: 43,420,326 p. A294T). Dysregulated transcriptome and metabolome in cell models expressing WT and MUT SIK1 confirmed the pathogenicity of the mutation. Specifically, we found MEF2C target genes, certain epilepsy causing genes and metabolites are dysregulated by SIK1 mutation. We found MEF2C target genes, certain epilepsy causing genes and metabolites are dysregulated by SIK1 mutation. Our finding further expanded the disease spectrum and provided novel mechanistic insights of DEE30.
