Early onset or syndromic epilepsy

Gene: ATP2B2

Green List (high evidence)

ATP2B2 is associated with Deafness, autosomal dominant 82 (OMIM 619804) in OMIM. Emerging evidence suggests that heterozygous pathogenic variants in ATP2B2 can cause a neurodevelopmental phenotype.

Recent papers have outlined and extended neurodevelopmental phenotype (PMID: 39367743, PMID: 37675773, PMID: 29655659) not documented in OMIM or G2P. Summarised phenotypes from 14 reported individuals (13 unrelated individuals) - Global developmental delay (12/14), delayed motor development (12/14), ataxia (9/14), impaired speech (13/14), intellectual disability (13/14), cerebellar atrophy (4/14), behavioural issues (9/14), seizures (9/14), hypotonia (6/14), dysmorphic features (4/14), hearing abnormalities (3/14), and ophthalmological abnormalities (6/14).

PMID: 29655659 - Heterozygous missense. Targeted NGS, unknown inheritance.

PMID: 37675773 - Trio exome sequencing for families 1-6, confirmed de novo status for all 6 families. Seventh family could not be confirmed. 5 missense variants, 2 frameshift variants.

PMID: 39367743 - Trio exome sequencing for families 1-4, confirmed de novo in all 4 families. One case paternally inherited, one unknown. 4 missense variants, 1 frameshift variant (2 individuals in the same family).

ATP2B2 is plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase involved in Ca2+ homeostasis. Ca2+ deregulation in humans and mice can cause cognitive, behavioural, sensory, and movement disorders. Discussed in detail in PMID: 37675773.
