Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.133 EIF2AK2 Arina Puzriakova Classified gene: EIF2AK2 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.133 EIF2AK2 Arina Puzriakova Added comment: Comment on list classification: Currently, only half of reported cases present seizures which seem to follow after developmental concerns are apparent. Therefore rated Amber, awaiting further publications/clinical evidence to elucidate the contribution of EIF2AK2 variants to this phenotype.
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.133 EIF2AK2 Arina Puzriakova Gene: eif2ak2 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.132 EIF2AK2 Arina Puzriakova gene: EIF2AK2 was added
gene: EIF2AK2 was added to Genetic epilepsy syndromes. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: EIF2AK2 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: EIF2AK2 were set to 32197074
Phenotypes for gene: EIF2AK2 were set to Leukoencephalopathy, developmental delay, and episodic neurologic regression syndrome, 618877
Added comment: Association with Developmental Delay, Leukoencephalopathy, and Neurologic Decompensation reported in both OMIM and G2P (probable).

PMID: 32197074 (2020) - Distinct de novo missense variants were identified in eight unrelated individuals who all share a notable phenotypic overlap of developmental delay, cognitive impairment, white matter alterations, dysarthria or lack of speech, and neurologic regression with febrile illness. Other variable features included hypotonia (7/8), hypertonia (7/8), ataxia (6/8), dystonia (5/8), tremor (3/8) and seizures (4/8). Functional data confirm reduced kinase activity compared to the wildtype protein product, and authors predict a dominant-negative effect.
