Genetic Epilepsy

Gene: C2orf69

Green List (high evidence)

PMID 34038740: 20 affected children from 8 unrelated families reported, presenting with fatal syndrome consisting of severe autoinflammation and progredient leukoencephalopathy with recurrent seizures; 12 of these subjects, whose DNA was available, segregated homozygous loss-of-function C2orf69 variants. Endogenous C2ORF69 was found to be (1) loosely bound to mitochondria, (2) affects mitochondrial membrane potential and oxidative respiration in cultured neurons, and (3) controls the levels of the glycogen branching enzyme 1 (GBE1) consistent with a glycogen-storage-associated mitochondriopathy. Zebrafish model.

PMID 33945503: 8 individuals from 5 families reported with muscle hypotonia, developmental delay, progressive microcephaly, and brain MRI abnormalities. Age at onset ranged from birth to 6 months of age. Six patients had vision impairment, liver abnormalities, inflammation/inflammatory arthritis, and 5 patients had seizures.
