Mutations in the leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy.
To describe the clinical and genetic findings in 2 families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy and the functional consequences of 2 novel mutations in LGI1.
Clinical, genetic, and functional investigations.
University hospital. Patients Two French families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy. Main Outcome Measure Mutation analysis.
Two novel disease-linked mutations, p.Leu232Pro and c.431 + 1G>A, were identified in LGI1. We demonstrated that the c.431 + 1G>A mutation causes the deletion of exons 3 and 4 of the LGI1 transcript and showed that the p.Leu232Pro mutation dramatically decreases secretion of the mutant protein by mammalian cells.
Our data indicate that LGI1 is a secreted protein and suggest that LGI1-related epilepsy results from a loss of function.
富含亮氨酸的胶质瘤失活1(LGI1)基因的突变与常染色体显性遗传性外侧颞叶癫痫有关。
描述2个常染色体显性遗传性外侧颞叶癫痫家系的临床和遗传学发现以及LGI1基因中2种新突变的功能后果。
临床、遗传学和功能研究。
大学医院。患者为2个患有常染色体显性遗传性外侧颞叶癫痫的法国家系。主要观察指标为突变分析。
在LGI1基因中鉴定出2种新的疾病相关突变,即p.Leu232Pro和c.431 + 1G>A。我们证明c.431 + 1G>A突变导致LGI1转录本的外显子3和4缺失,并表明p.Leu232Pro突变显著降低了哺乳动物细胞中突变蛋白的分泌。
我们的数据表明LGI1是一种分泌蛋白,并提示LGI1相关癫痫是由功能丧失引起的。
