PRRT2 Gene Analysis of Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia (PKD) in Thai Children
Abstract
Objective: To examine the frequency of the proline-rich transmembrane protein-2 (PRRT2) gene mutation in Thai patients with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD).
Material and Methods: A retrospective study of children aged 0-18 years with a diagnosis of PKD at Siriraj Hospital. The genetic analyses of the PRRT2 gene were done by bidirectional Sanger sequencing.
Results: Twelve patients with PKD were included. The known PRRT2 mutation, c.649dupC (p.Arg217Profs*8), was identified in three of the patients (25.0%), one of the nine sporadic cases (11.1%) and two of the three familial cases (66.6%), all from different families. PKD had a complete response to carbamazepine treatment regardless of PRRT2 mutation status.
Conclusion: Our study provided the new details of the clinical phenotypes and PRRT2 gene analysis findings for Thai PKD. PRRT2 mutations were identified in our Thai PKD patients with increased detection rates in the familial PKD cases. The c.649dupC (p.Arg217Profs*8) was also found to be a hot-spot mutation in our Thai PKD patients. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the importance of PRRT2 gene analysis in order to properly diagnose and treat these patients.
