Patient 1 (NM_153033.4: c.[533C > T], NP_694578: p.[(Ala178Val)]) was a 17-year-old girl who presented with early-onset epilepsy resembling epilepsia partialis continua (responsive to intravenous corticosteroids and immunoglobulins), and later developed myoclonic seizures and atypical absences, photosensitivity to very low frequencies and progressive seizures-related neurocognitive and motor deterioration.
Patient 2 (NM_153033.4: c.[172G>A], NP_694578: p.[(Gly58Arg)]) presented with early neurological regression, myoclonic seizures and lysosomal storage material which was consistent with a neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) at skin biopsy.
The proband from the second family was homozygous for c.146G > A (p.R49Q) and manifested myoclonic seizures, developmental delay, coarse hair and diffuse cortical atrophy.
