Early onset or syndromic epilepsy
Gene: ALG14
In the Kvarnung et al paper the 2 affected siblings presented with severe intellectual disability, epilepsy, behavioural problems and mild dysmorphic features, - splicing variants. Less severe than hom and compound het cases reported by Schorling et al, 2017. Possiblity of missed cases if the phenotype is less severe (doesn't include early severe neurodegeneration with mopathic and myasthenic features).Created: 27 Jan 2021, 3:34 p.m. | Last Modified: 27 Jan 2021, 3:34 p.m.

Associated with Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, 15, without tubular aggregates 616227 in OMIM, but not associated with phenotype in Gen2Phen. At least 6 variants reported in at least 5 cases with varying phenotypes. PMID 23404334 reports compound heterozygous (p.P65L, P.R104*) sibs, who manifested with myasthenic syndromes, but did not have intellectural disability nor seizures and were 62 and 51 years old when reported. PMID 28733338 reports two compound heterozygous (p.D74N, pV141G), (p.D74N, p.R109Q) cases and a homozygous (p.D74N), with early and lethal neurodegeneration with myasthenic and myopathic features, but the cases died before intellectual disability was manifiest. However, seizures were evident in two compound heterozygous families. PMID 30221345 reports a homozygous splicing variant in a case with intellectual disability and seizures. Functional studies were presented showing that this variant resulting in exon skipping, however, this was not completely prenetrant as wild type protein was detected at a low level in the patient.
