Ataxia and cerebellar anomalies - narrow panel
Gene: KCNA2
Ataxia is part of the phenotype.
Review of 23 affected individuals in PMID 29050392: some variants are LoF and others GoF, and some genotype-phenotype correlations made. The main differences were (i) predominant focal (loss-of-function) versus generalized (gain-of-function) seizures and corresponding epileptic discharges with prominent sleep activation in most cases with loss-of-function mutations; (ii) more severe epilepsy, developmental problems and ataxia, and atrophy of the cerebellum or even the whole brain in about half of the patients with gain-of-function mutations; and (iii) most severe early-onset phenotypes, occasionally with neonatal onset epilepsy and developmental impairment, as well as generalised and focal seizures and EEG abnormalities for patients with gain- and loss-of-function mutations.
