Developmental delay and seizures with or without movement abnormalities (DEDSM) is a neurodevelopmental phenotype associated with monoallelic mutations in the DHDDS gene. We report a novel case of DEDSM linked to a DHDDS variant (c.614G > A, p.Arg205Gln) in a 45-year-old Brazilian patient presenting with refractory epilepsy, ataxia, dystonia, parkinsonism, and global developmental delay. This is the first case to associate a DHDDS variant with hippocampal atrophy on neuroimaging. After adjustments in anticonvulsant therapy, seizure control was achieved, and the patient-who was previously unable to walk due to frequent falls attributed to myoclonic jerks-showed significant improvement in gait and mobility.
发育迟缓伴或不伴运动异常和癫痫(DEDSM)是一种神经发育表型,与 DHDDS 基因突变单等位基因有关。我们报告了一例与 DHDDS 变异相关的 DEDSM 病例(c.614G > A,p.Arg205Gln),该病例为一名 45 岁巴西患者,表现为难治性癫痫、共济失调、肌张力障碍、帕金森病和全面发育迟缓。这是首例将 DHDDS 变异与神经影像学上的海马萎缩相关联的病例。在调整抗癫痫药物治疗后,癫痫得到了控制,患者以前因肌阵挛性抽搐而经常摔倒导致无法行走,现在步态和活动能力有了显著改善。
