Abstract
  • PURPOSE: Mutations in PCDH19, encoding protocadherin 19 on chromosome X, cause familial epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females or Dravet-like syndrome. We wished to explore the causative role of PCDH19 gene (Xq22) in female patients with epilepsy, from Southern Italy. METHODS: Direct sequencing of PCDH19 gene was conducted in 31 unrelated female patients with early onset (<1 year of age) epilepsy and a wide spectrum of phenotypes including febrile seizures, focal and generalized forms, with either sporadic or familial distribution. RESULTS: We identified two de novo heterozygous novel mutations of PCDH19 gene (p.Arg550Pro, Ile508ProfsX59) in two of 31 unrelated female patients. We also identified a novel silent mutation p.Ser856=. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings confirm that PCDH19 is a major causative gene for infantile onset familial or sporadic epilepsy in female patients with or without mental retardation. (literal)
