PRICKLE1-related early onset epileptic encephalopathy.

The PRICKLE1 (Prickle Planar Cell Polarity Protein 1-MIM 608500) gene is involved in different phases of human development. The related diseases include autosomal recessive progressive myoclonus epilepsy - ataxia syndrome, neural tube defects associated with heterozygous mutations, agenesis of corpus callosum, polymicrogyria, and autistic spectrum disorder. Reported here is a young boy with a new variant (NM_153026.2:c.820G>A, p.Ala274Thr) presenting with an early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with developmental arrest.
