Case Report: Novel Homozygous Likely Pathogenic SCN1A Variant With Autosomal Recessive Inheritance and Review of the Literature

Dominant pathogenic variations in the SCN1A gene are associated with several neuro developmental disorders with or without epilepsy, including Dravet syndrome (DS). Conversely, there are few published cases with homozygous or compound heterozygous variations in the SCN1A gene. Here, we describe two...

Conversely, there are few published cases with homozygous or compound heterozygous variations in the SCN1A gene. Here, we describe two siblings from a consanguineous pedigree with epilepsy phenotype compatible with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) associated with the homozygous likely pathogenic variant (NM_001165963.1): c.4513A > C (p.Lys1505Gln).

Most patients (11/12) had missense variants. Patients in whom the variants were located at the cytoplasmic or the extracellular domains frequently presented a less severe phenotype than those in whom they are located at the pore-forming domains. Five of the patients (41.7%) meet clinical criteria for Dravet syndrome (DS), one of them associated acute encephalopathy.
