Resumen
Objectives: Malformations of cerebral cortex (MCC) are an important cause of epilepsy. Our main goals were: to search for mutations in genes responsible for MCC (FLN1, LIS1, DCX and EMX2), to map the locus for familial perisylvian polymicrogyria and to investigate the molecular mechanisms of the mutations identified. Methods: Mutation screening was performed by PCR, DHPLC and sequencing. HUMARA and Real Time PCR were performed to study the molecular mechanisms of mutations. Linkage analysis was carried out by PCR, Fragment profiler® and MLINK® software. Results: Deleterious mutations were identified in 3/108 patients. We found a G987C splicing mutation in the FLN1 in two related patients with periventricular nodular heterotopia. Skewed X-chromosome inactivation was detected as the possible mechanism responsible for clinical differences observed in the two patients. An A1385C transversion (H277P) in LIS1 was identified in one patient with lisencephaly. Only neutral variants were identified in DCX and EMX2. Linkage analysis has detected a locus in Xq27.2-Xq27.3 for familial polymicrogyria. Conclusion: We believe that the low frequency of mutations identified may be due to mosaicism, mutations in non-coding regions, deletions and patients with atypical neuroimaging findings. Deleterious mutations in EMX2 were not found in patients with schizencephaly and polymicrogyria. We found a locus for familial perisylvian polymicrogyria in Xq27.2-Xq27.3. 14 3 101 105 Brunelli, S., Faiella, A., Capra, V., Nigro, V., Simeone, A., Cama, A., Germline mutation in the homeobox gene EMX2 in patients with severe schizenchephaly (1996) Nature Genet, 12, pp. 94-96 Des Portes, V., Francis, F., Pinard, J.-M., Desguerre, I., Moutard, M.-L., Snoeck, I., Meiners, L.C., Beldjord, C., Doublecortin is the major gene causing X-linked subcortical laminar heterotopia (SCLH) (1998) Human Molecular Genetics, 7 (7), pp. 1063-1070. , DOI 10.1093/hmg/7.7.1063 Dobyns, W.B., Truwit, C.L., Ross, M.E., Matsumoto, N., Pilz, D.T., Ledbetter, D.H., Gleeson, J.G., Barkovich, A.J., Differences in the gyral pattern distinguish chromosome 17-linked and X- Linked lissencephaly (1999) Neurology, 53 (2), pp. 270-277 Fox, J.W., Lamperti, E.D., Eksioglu, Y.Z., Hong, S.E., Feng, Y., Graham, D.A., Scheffer, I.E., Walsh, C.A., Mutations in filamin 1 prevent migration of cerebral cortical neurons in human Periventricular heterotopia (1998) Neuron, 21 (6), pp. 1315-1325. , DOI 10.1016/S0896-6273(00)80651-0 Grantham, R., Amino acid difference formula to help protein evolution (1974) Science, 185, pp. 862-864 Kruglyak, L., Daly, M.J., Reeve-Daly, M.P., Lander, E.S., Parametric and nonparametric linkage analysis: A unified multipoint approach (1996) American Journal of Human Genetics, 58 (6), pp. 1347-1363 Kuzniecky, R., Murro, A., King, D., Morawetz, R., Smith, J., Powers, R., Yaghmai, F., Snead, O.C., Magnetic resonance imaging in childhood intractable partial epilepsies: Pathologic correlations (1993) Neurology, 43 (4 I), pp. 681-687 Leventer, R.J., Cardoso, C., Ledbetter, D.H., Dobyns, W.B., LIS1 missense mutations cause milder lissencephaly phenotypes including a child with normal IQ (2001) Neurology, 57, pp. 416-422 Palmini, A., Andermann, E., Andermann, F., Prenatal events and genetic factors in epileptic patients with neuronal migration disorders (1994) Epilepsia, 35 (5), pp. 965-973. , DOI 10.1111/j.1528-1157.1994.tb02541.x Parrini, E., Ramazzotti, A., Dobyns, W.B., Mei, D., Moro, F., Veggiotti, P., Marini, C., Guerrini, R., Periventricular heterotopia: Phenotypic heterogeneity and correlation with Filamin a mutations (2006) Brain, 129 (7), pp. 1892-1906. , DOI 10.1093/brain/awl125 Reiner, O., Carrozzo, R., Shen, Y., Wehnert, M., Faustinella, F., Dobyns, W.B., Caskey, C.T., Ledbetter, D.H., Isolation of a Miller-Dieker lissencephaly gene containing G protein beta- Subunit-like repeats (1993) Nature, 364 (6439), pp. 717-721. , DOI 10.1038/364717a0 Robertson, S.P., Twigg, S.R.F., Sutherland-Smith, A.J., Biancalana, V., Gorlin, R.J., Horn, D., Kenwrick, S.J., Wilkie, O.M., Localized mutations in the gene encoding the cytoskeletal protein filamin a cause diverse malformations in humans (2003) Nature Genetics, 33 (4), pp. 487-491. , DOI 10.1038/ng1119 Santos, N.F., Secolin, R., Brandao-Almeida, I.L., Silva, M.S., Torres, F.R., Tsuneda, S.S., Guimaraes, C.A., Lopes-Cendes, I., A new candidate locus for bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria mapped on chromosome Xq27 (2008) American Journal of Medical Genetics, Part a, 146 (9), pp. 1151-1157. , DOI 10.1002/ajmg.a.32270 Terwillinger, J.D., Ott, J., (1993) Handbook of Human Genetic Linkage, , Maryland: Johns Hopkins Tietjen, I., Bodell, A., Apse, K., Mendonza, A.M., Chang, B.S., Shaw, G.M., Comprehensive EMX2 genotyping of a large schizencephaly case series (2007) Am J Med Genet a, 143, pp. 1313-1316 Torres, F.R., Montenegro, M.A., Marques-De-Faria, A.P., Guerreiro, M.M., Cendes, F., Lopes-Cendes, I., Mutation screening in a cohort of patients with lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (2004) Neurology, 62 (5), pp. 799-802 Tsuneda, S.S., Torres, F.R., Montenegro, M.A., Guerreiro, M.M., Cendes, F., Lopes-Cendes, I., A new missense mutation found in the FLN1 gene in a family with Bilateral Periventricular Nodular Heterotopia (BPNH) alters the splicing process (2007) J Mol Neurosci, 35, pp. 195-200 Uyanik, G., Morris-Rosendahl, D.J., Stiegler, J., Klapecki, J., Gross, C., Berman, Y., Location and type of mutation in the LIS1 gene do not predict phenotypic severity (2007) Neurology, 69, pp. 442-447 Villard, L., Nguyen, K., Cardoso, C., Martin, C.L., Weiss, A.M., Sifry-Platt, M., Grix, A.W., Dobyns, W.B., A locus for bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria maps to Xq28 (2002) American Journal of Human Genetics, 70 (4), pp. 1003-1008. , DOI 10.1086/339433 Wyllie, E., Comair, Y., Ruggieri, P., Raja, S., Prayson, R., Epilepsy surgery in the setting of periventricular leukomalacia and focal cortical dysplasia (1996) Neurology, 46 (3), pp. 839-841
