Early onset or syndromic epilepsy
Gene: RUBCN
Seidahmed et al. 2020 (PMID: 32450808) identified a second consanguineous Saudi family with 2 sibs harbouring the same c.2624delC variant, as previously described in another family by Asoum et al. 2010. Autozygosity mapping confirmed this to be a founder variant in the Arab population. Similarities in the clinical phenotype in both families included early-onset cerebellar ataxia and developmental delay - however, the two sibs in the later study did not have a history of seizures.Created: 16 Jun 2021, 4:14 p.m. | Last Modified: 16 Jun 2021, 4:14 p.m.
