3 families with 7 affected with sinus node dysfunction (bradycardia) and AV block (2/7 HCM).

3 x HMZ variants found in POPDC2 (2 x missense, 1 x indel). Variants predicted to diminish cAMP binding of POPDC2, and shown to disrupt regulation of TREK1 channels (lowering of outward K+ current).

POPDC2 is highly expressed in cardiac myocytes, sinoatrial node, and atrioventricular node. Knockdown in zebrafish leads to AV block, and knockout in mice leads to sinus node dysfunction. Sources: Other

Review for gene: DCAF13 was set to RED
Added comment: One consanguineous family, 4x individuals homozygous NM_015420.7(DCAF13)c.907 G > A; p.(Asp303Asn) (3x via WES and 1x via Sanger) with a neuromuscular disorder characterized by a waddling gait, limb deformities, muscular weakness and facial palsy.

In silicos analysis of mutant DCAF13 suggests that the amino acid change is deleterious and affects a ß-hairpin turn, within a WD40 domain of the protein which may decrease protein stability. Functional studies were not performed.

Previously, a heterozygous variant in DCAF13 with or without a heterozygous missense variant in CCN3, was suggested to cause inherited cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy. In addition, a heterozygous DCAF13 variant has been associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Review for gene: DPYSL2 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Two unrelated cases with monoallelic variants in DPYSL2/ CRMP2, supported by functional studies. However, the evidence is not sufficient for green rating as there are variants reported in other (but different) genes in the two patients.

PMID:35861646 reported two cases identified with heterozygous variants (patient1: c.1693C>T (p.Arg565Cys); patient 2: c.42C>A (p.Ser14Arg). These patients had overlapping phenotypes including dysmorphic features, severe global developmental delay and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. In addition, patient 2 was bed-ridden and could not roll out and had a history of myoclonic seizures and status epilepticus.

It should be noted that patient 1 is compound heterozygous for 2 missense variants in the EFCAB5 gene and was hemizygous for a maternally inherited missense variant in the GPKOW gene and patient 2 had 1 de novo missense variant in the COBLL1 gene and was compound heterozygous for 2 missense variants in the POTEF gene. The severity of the phenotypes between the two cases differs significantly and the additional variants may have possibly contributed to this phenotype.

Brain-specific Crmp2 knockout mice display neuronal development deficits and behavioural impairments associated with hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. In addition, functional studies performed in zebrafish and cell lines that the CRMP2 variants lead to the loss-of-function of CRMP2 protein and can cause intellectual disability.

Review for gene: RPS6KB1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Jain et al. 2022 (PMID: 34916228) reported on two unrelated HCM families with the same heterozygous missense RPS6KB1 variant (p.G47W), and subsequently three further unrelated probands with HCM harbouring distinct heterozygous variants (p.Q49K, p.Y62H, respectively). Variants segregated with disease, were predicted pathogenic by silico analyses and were ultrarare or absent in population databases. Functional studies in the HL-1 (mouse cardiomyocytes) cells showed that the patient-specific RPS6KB1 mutant significantly increased cell size and activated rpS6 and ERK1/2 signalling cascades. The relationship between RPS6KB1 and cardiac hypertrophy has also been explored in feline and mice models (PMID: 15226426; 17976640)

Mendeliome v0.10181 ADCY5 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: ADCY5: Added comment: Neurodevelopmental disorder with hyperkinetic movements and dyskinesia (NEDHYD) is an autosomal recessive complex neurologic disorder characterized by severe global developmental delay with axial hypotonia, impaired intellectual development, poor overall growth, and abnormal involuntary hyperkinetic movements, including dystonia, myoclonus, spasticity, and orofacial dyskinesia. It is the most severe manifestation of ADCY5-related dyskinetic disorders. Five individuals from 2 families reported.

Autosomal recessive hyperkinetic movement disorder with dyskinesia, myoclonus, chorea, and dystonia-2 (HYDMCD2) is characterized by the onset of abnormal involuntary movements, mainly affecting the limbs and causing walking difficulties, in the first decade. The severity is variable; some patients have orofacial dyskinesia, resulting in speech difficulties, or develop neuropsychiatric features, including anxiety and social withdrawal. Cardiomyopathy has rarely been described and may be a manifestation of the disorder. Eight individuals from 2 families reported.; Changed publications: 22782511, 24700542, 33051786, 32647899, 33704598, 34631954, 28971144, 30975617; Changed phenotypes: Dyskinesia, familial, with facial myokymia, MIM# 606703, MONDO:0011707, Hyperkinetic movement disorder with dyskinesia, myoclonus, chorea, and dystonia-2 (HYDMCD2), MIM#619647, Neurodevelopmental disorder with hyperkinetic movements and dyskinesia (NEDHYD), MIM#619651; Changed mode of inheritance: BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Mendeliome v0.9776 NEBL Bryony Thompson Added comment: Comment on list classification: Limited gene-disease vailidity, Classification - 09/25/2020 by ClinGen Dilated Cardiomyopathy GCEP. Evidence Summary: NEBL was evaluated for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Human genetic evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level data. Arimura and colleagues (2000, PMID: 11140941) analyzed 83 DCM patients and 311 healthy controls, identifying 4 missense variants of unknown significance (VUSs) in 4 DCM cases. High minor allele frequencies (MAFs) and lack of segregation excluded these variants as evidence. Purevjav and colleagues (2010, PMID: 20951326) investigated a total of 260 DCM patients and 300 unrelated ethnic matched controls by direct DNA sequencing. Authors identified 4 missense VUSs. One of these variants (Q128R) was downgraded in level of evidence due to the lack of segregation. The other 3 variants were not scored because of their MAF. Perrot and colleagues (2016, PMID: 27186169) investigated a total of 389 patients with DCM, HCM, or LVNC, 320 Caucasian sex-matched controls and 192 Caucasian sex-matched blood donors and identified 3 missense VUSs in 4 families. One of these variants was also carried by healthy relatives and therefore was excluded, however this may be explained by reduced penetrance. The 2 other variants lacked segregation as well and therefore were also excluded. In addition, this gene-disease association is supported by animal models. Mastronotaro and colleagues (2015, PMID: 25987543) created a NEBL knockout mice that exhibited normal cardiac function up to 9 months of age but after 2 weeks of transaortic constriction (TAC), these mice showed Z-line widening since the age of 5 months and upregulation of cardiac stress genes (basal and after TAC) However, absence of clinical DCM features in KO-NEBL mice as well as Western Blot analysis which contradicted previous findings by showing a similar protein expression between knockout and wild-type mice, excluding it as evidence. Purevjav and colleagues (2010, PMID: 20951326) generated a transgenic mouse overexpressing WT or mutant NEBL under the control of the α-MyHC promoter (4 variants were tested). Mice overexpressing p.K60N or p.Q128R variants died within 1 year because of severe heart enlargement and heart failure. Mice overexpressing p.G202R or p.A592E were born and developed normally but after 6 months displayed reduced stress tolerance, cardiac enlargement due to left ventricle dilation, myocyte disarray, and interstitial cell infiltration. In summary, there is limited evidence to support this gene-disease relationship. More evidence is needed to support the relationship of NEBL and autosomal dominant DCM. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Dilated Cardiomyopathy Working Group on October 11, 2019 (SOP Version 7). Gene Clinical Validity Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) - SOP7

Added comment: Moderate evidence for autosomal dominant short QT syndrome 1 by ClinGen /gene curation expert panel (PMID: 34557911). A single missense variant (absent gnomAD) identified in two SQTS families. In family 1, it segregated with SQTS (QTc<370ms) in 23 carriers, and 19 non-carriers had a QTc>370ms. In family 2, it segregated in 4 individuals. Experimental evidence from in vitro and zebrafish models suggests reduced membrane localization of the mutated protein leads to intracellular alkalinization and shortening of the cardiomyocyte action potential duration.
ClinGen expert panel was divided between strong (4 votes) and moderate (5 votes).

Added comment: NM_020151.3(STARD7):c.291-1572ATTTT[X]ATTTC[X]
158 affected individuals from 22 unrelated families with familial adult myoclonic epilepsy with a heterozygous 5-bp repeat expansion (ATTTC)n in intron 1. Affected individuals had variable expansion of an endogenous (ATTTT)n repeat in addition to the insertion of an abnormal (ATTTC)n repeat, similar molecular finding in other forms of FAME. RNA sequencing from patient derived fibroblasts shows no accumulation of the AUUUU or AUUUC repeat sequences and no effect on STARD7 gene expression, suggesting ATTTC expansions may cause FAME irrespective of the genomic locus involved.

A heterozygous or homozygous 5-bp expanded TTTCA(n) insertion associated with an upstream 5-bp TTTTA(n) repeat expansion in a noncoding region within intron 4 of the SAMD12 gene, was identified in over 50 Chinese and Japanese families. 4 homozygous cases from 3 families had a more severe phenotype. The TTTTA repeat was present in controls, while the TTTCA was absent and only present in cases (100-3680 repeats reported). RNA toxicity is expected to be the mechanism of disease.

Mendeliome v0.8583 PRDX3 Hazel Phillimore changed review comment from: Biallelic variants in 5 unrelated families with early onset (median 21 years , range 13-22 years) with ataxia with variable additional hyper- and hypokinetic movement disorders, and severe early-onset cerebellar atrophy (seen on MRI), and involvement of the brainstem, medullary olive and parietal cortex.
Evolution of the disease was gait ataxia leading to upper limb ataxia, then dysarthria and then dysphagia, all within a decade. For some of these patients, the phenotype included myoclonus, dystonia and / or tremor. Mild classical mitochondrial features were seen in one of the patients, namely ptosis and COX-negative fibres.
The variants were homozygous nonsense, homozygous frameshift, homozygous missense, and a compound heterozygote of a splice variant and missense, all leading to complete loss of the protein. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction was indicated as the disease mechanism.
The families originated from Germany, France, India and two from eastern Turkey. The two families from Turkey were seemingly unrelated to each other but had the same homozygous missense.
Patient fibroblasts from each of the five probands showed lack of protein (via Western blot) and decreased glutathione peroxidase activity and decreased mitochondrial maximal respiratory capacity.
PRXD3 encodes peroxiredoxin 3, a mitochondrial antioxidant protein, that catalyses the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It localises in the mitochondria, where most hydrogen peroxide is generated.
Functional studies: PRDX3 knockdown (induced by silencing RNA against PRDX3) in cerebellar medulloblastoma cells showed significantly decreased cell viability, increased hydrogen peroxide levels and increased susceptibility to apoptosis triggered by reactive oxygen species.
In addition, induced knockdown drosophila (in vivo animal model) had aberrant locomotor phenotypes and reduced lifespans, while immunolabelling of the brain showed increased cell death after exposure to oxidative stress.

Added comment: Semino et al (2021 - PMID: 34157790) provide clinical details on 3 unrelated individuals with de novo SYNCRIP variants and provide a review of 5 additional subjects previously identified within large cohorts in the literature and databases.

Features included DD, ID (7/7 for whom this information was available), ASD or autistic features (4/7). MRI abnormalities were observed in 3 (widening of CSF spaces, periventricular nodular heterotopia, prominent lat. ventricles). Epilepsy (myoclonic-astatic epilepsy / Doose syndrome) was reported for 2(/8) individuals.

The 3 patients here reported were identified following trio/singleton exome with Sanger confirmation of the variants and their de novo occurrence.

Variants are in almost all cases de novo (7/7 for whom this was known) and in 5/8 cases were pLoF, in 2/8 missense SNVs while a case from DECIPHER had a 77.92 kb whole gene deletion not involving other genes with unknown inheritance.

Overall the variants reported to date include [NM_006372.5]:
1 - c.858_859del p.(Gly287Leufs*5)
2 - c.854dupA p.(Asn285Lysfs*8)

SYNCRIP (also known as HNRNPQ) encodes synaptotagmin‐binding cytoplasmic RNA‐interacting protein. As the authors note, this RNA-binding protein is involved in multiple pathways associated with neuronal/muscular developmental disorders. Several references are provided for its involvement in regulation of RNA metabolism, among others sequence recognition, pre-mRNA splicing, translation, transport and degradation.

Mutations in other RNA-interacting proteins and hnRNP members (e.g. HNRNPU, HNRNPD) are associated with NDD.

The missense variant (p.Leu245Pro) is within RRM2 one of the 3 RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains of the protein. These 3 domains, corresponding to the central part of the protein (aa 150-400), are relatively intolerant to variation (based on in silico predictions and/or variation in gnomAD). Leu245 localizes within an RNA binding pocket and in silico modeling suggests alteration of the tertiary structure and RNA-binding capacity of RRM2.

There are no additional studies performed.

Overall haploinsufficiency appears to be the underlying disease mechanism based on the truncating variants and the gene deletion. [pLI in gnomAD : 1, %HI : 2.48%]

Animal models are not discussed.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM. This gene is included in the DD panel of G2P (monoallelic LoF variants / SYNCRIP-related developmental disorder). SysID also lists SYNCRIP within the current primary ID genes.

Mendeliome v0.8511 CAMK4 Zornitza Stark gene: CAMK4 was added

Mode of inheritance for gene: CAMK4 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: CAMK4 were set to 30262571; 33098801; 33211350
Phenotypes for gene: CAMK4 were set to Intellectual disability; Autism; Behavioral abnormality; Abnormality of movement; Dystonia; Ataxia; Chorea; Myoclonus
Review for gene: CAMK4 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 3 publications by Zech et al (2018, 2020 - PMIDs : 30262571, 33098801, 33211350) provide clinical details on 3 individuals, each harboring a private de novo CAMK4 variant.

Overlapping features included DD, ID, behavoral issues, autism and abnormal hyperkinetic movements. Dystonia and chorea in all 3 appeared 3-20 years after initial symptoms.

CAMK4 encodes Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV, an important mediator of calcium-mediated activity and dynamics, particularly in the brain. It is involved in neuronal transmission, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal gene expression required for brain development and neuronal homeostasis (summary by OMIM based on Zech et al, 2018).

The 473 aa enzyme has a protein kinase domain (aa 46-300) and a C-terminal autoregulatory domain (aa 305-341) the latter comprising an autoinhibitory domain (AID / aa 305-321) and a calmodulin-binding domain (CBD / aa 322-341) [NP_001735.1 / NM_001744.4 - also used below].

Variants in all 3 subjects were identified following trio-WES and were in all cases protein-truncating, mapping to exon 10 or exon 10-intron 10 junction, expected to escape NMD and cause selective abrogation of the autoinhibitory domain (aa 305-321) leading overall to gain-of-function.

Variation databases include pLoF CAMK4 variants albeit in all cases usptream or downstream of this region (pLI of this gene in gnomAD: 0.51). Variants leading to selective abrogation of the autoregulatory domain have not been reported.

Extensive evidence for the GoF effect of the variant has been provided in the first publication. Several previous studies have demonstrated that abrogation of the AID domain leads to consitutive activation (details below).

Mouse models - though corresponding to homozygous loss of function - support a role for CAMKIV in cognitive and motor symptoms. Null mice display tremulous and ataxic movements, deficiencies in balance and sensorimotor performance associated with reduced number of Purkinje neurons (Ribar et al 2000, PMID: 11069976 - not reviewed). Wei et al (2002, PMID: 12006982 - not reviewed) provided evidence for alteration in hippocampal physiology and memory function.

Heterozygous mutations in other genes for calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CAMKs) e.g. CAMK2A/CAMK2B (encoding subunits of CAMKII) have been reported in individuals with ID.

---

The proband in the first publication (PMID: 30262571) was a male with DD, ID, behavioral difficulties (ASD, autoaggression, stereotypies) and hyperkinetic movement disorder (myoclonus, chorea, ataxia) with severe generalized dystonia (onset at the age of 13y). Brain MRI demonstrated cerebellar atrophy.

Extensive work-up incl. karyotyping, CMA, DYT-TOR1A, THAP1, GCH1, SCA1/2/3/6/7/8/12/17, Friedreich's ataxia and FMR1 analysis was negative.F

Trio WES identified a dn splice site variant (c.981+1G>A) in the last exon-intron junction. RT-PCR followed by gel electrophoresis and Sanger in fibroblasts from an affected and control subject revealed that the proband had - as predicted by the type/location of the variant - in equal amount 2 cDNA products, a normal as well as a truncated one.

Sequencing of the shortest revealed utilization of a cryptic donor splice site upstream of the mutated donor leading to a 77bp out-of-frame deletion and introduction of a premature stop codon in the last codon (p.Lys303Serfs*28). Western blot in fibroblast cell lines revealed 2 bands corresponding to the normal protein product as well as to the p.Lys303Serfs*28 although expression of the latter was lower than that of the full length protein.

Several previous studies have shown that mutant CAMKIV species that lack the autoinhibitory domain are consitutively active (several Refs provided). Among others Chatila et al (1996, PMID: 8702940) studied an in vitro-engineered truncation mutant (Δ1-317 - truncation at position 317 of the protein) with functionally validated gain-of-function effect.

To prove enhanced activity of the splicing variant, Zech et al assessed phosphorylation of CREB (cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein), a downstream substrate of CAMKIV. Immunobloting revealed significant increase of CREB phosphorylation in patient fibroblasts compared to controls. Overactivation of CAMKIV signaling was reversed when cells were treated with STO-609 an inhibitor of CAMKK, the ustream activator of CAMKIV.

Overall the authors demonstrated that loss of CAMKIV autoregulatory domain due to this splice variant had a gain-of-function effect.

----

Following trio-WES, Zech et al (2020 - PMID: 33098801) identified another relevant subject within cohort of 764 individuals with dystonia. This 12-y.o. male, harboring a different variant affecting the same donor site (c.981+1G>T), presented DD, ID, dystonia (onset at 3y) and additional movement disorders (myoclonus, ataxia) as well as similar behavior (ASD, autoaggression, stereotypies). [Details in suppl. p20].

----

Finally Zech et al (2020 - PMID: 33211350) reported on a 24-y.o. woman with adolescence onset choreodystonia. Other features included DD, moderate ID, absence seizures in infancy, OCD with anxiety and later diagnosis of ASD. Trio WES revealed a dn stopgain variant (c.940C>T; p.Gln314*).

Added comment: García‑Cazorla et al. (2020 - PMID: 33015733) report 5 individuals (from 4 families) with a novel brain and heart developmental syndrome caused by biallelic SHMT2 pathogenic variants.

All affected subjects presented similar phenotype incl. microcephaly at birth (5/5 with OFC < -2 SD though in 2/5 cases N OFC was observed later), DD and ID (1/5 mild-moderate, 1/5 moderate, 3/5 severe), motor dysfunction in the form of spastic (5/5) paraparesis, ataxia/dysmetria (3/4), intention tremor (in 3/?) and/or peripheral neuropathy (2 sibs). They exhibited corpus callosum hypoplasia (5/5) and perisylvian microgyria-like pattern (4/5). Cardiac problems were reported in all, with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 4/5 (from 3 families) and atrial-SD in the 5th individual (1/5). Common dysmorphic features incl. long palpebral/fissures, eversion of lateral third of lower eylids, arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, thin upper lip, short Vth finger, fetal pads, mild 2-3 toe syndactyly, proximally placed thumbs.

Biallelic variants were identified following exome sequencing in all (other investigations not mentioned). Identified variants were in all cases missense SNVs or in-frame del, which together with evidence from population databases and mouse model might suggest a hypomorphic effect of variants and intolerance/embryonic lethality for homozygous LoF ones.

SHMT2 encodes the mitohondrial form of serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The enzyme transfers one-carbon units from serine to tetrahydrofolate (THF) and generates glycine and 5,10,methylene-THF.

Mitochondrial defect was suggested by presence of ragged red fibers in myocardial biopsy of one patient. Quadriceps and myocardial biopsies of the same individual were overall suggestive of myopathic changes.

While plasma metabolites were within N range and SHMT2 protein levels not significantly altered in patient fibroblasts, the authors provide evidence for impaired enzymatic function eg. presence of the SHMT2 substrate (THF) in patient but not control (mitochondria-enriched) fibroblasts , decrease in glycine/serine ratios, impared folate metabolism. Patient fibroblasts displayed impaired oxidative capacity (reduced ATP levels in a medium without glucose, diminished oxygen consumption rates). Mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS levels were also suggestive of redox malfunction.

Shmt2 ko in mice was previously shown to be embryonically lethal attributed to severe mitochondrial respiration defects, although there was no observed brain metabolic defect.

Mendeliome v0.4392 SLC25A46 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Age of onset is variable, but childhood onset described. Ataxia is a feature.; to: Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type VIB is an autosomal recessive complex progressive neurologic disorder characterized mainly by early-onset optic atrophy resulting in progressive visual loss and peripheral axonal sensorimotor neuropathy with highly variable age at onset and severity. Affected individuals also have cerebellar or pontocerebellar atrophy on brain imaging, and they show abnormal movements, such as ataxia, dysmetria, and myoclonus.

At least 10 unrelated families reported, supportive functional data.

Added comment: [Please note that HGNC Approved Gene Symbol for this gene is NARS1] Manole et al (2020 - PMID: 32738225) provide evidence that both biallelic and monoallelic (de novo) pathogenic NARS1 variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder. In total 32 individuals from 21 families are reported, with biallelic variants identified in individuals from 13 families and de novo in 8 families. Similar features were reported for AR/AD occurrences of the disorder and included microcephaly (90% - most often primary), epilepsy (23/32 or 74% - variable semiology incl. partial/myoclonic/generalized tonic-clonic seizures), DD and ID (as a universal feature), abnormal tone in several (hypotonia/spasticity), ataxia, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (in 3 or more for each inheritance mode - or a total of 25%). Some individuals had dysmorphic features. NARS1 encodes an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) [asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 1]. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute a family of enzymes catalyzing attachment of amino-acids to their cognate tRNAs. As the authors comment, mutations in genes encoding several other ARSs result in neurological disorders ranging from peripheral neuropathy to severe multi-systemic NDD. Dominant, recessive or both modes for inheritance for mutations in the same gene (e.g. AARS1, YARS1, MARS1, etc) have been reported. Some variants were recurrent, e.g. the c.1600C>T / p.Arg534* which occurred in 6 families as a de novo event or c.1633C>T p.Arg545Cys (homozygous in 6 families). 3 different variants were reported to have occured de novo (c.965G>T - p.Arg322Leu, c.1525G>A - p.Gly509Ser, p.Arg534*) with several other variants identified in hmz/compound htz individuals. A single SNV (c.1067A>C - p.Asp356Ala) was suggested to be acting as modifier and pathogenic only when in trans with a severe variant. [NM_004539.4 used as RefSeq for all]. The authors provide several lines of evidence for a partial loss-of-function effect (e.g. reduction in mRNA expression, enzyme levels and activity in fibroblasts or iNPCs) underlying pathogenicity of the variants identified in individuals with biallelic variants. A gain-of-function (dominant-negative) effect is proposed for de novo variants (such effect also demonstrated for the p.Arg534* in a zebrafish model).

Mendeliome v0.2549 GAD1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: GAD1: Added comment: 2020: 11 individuals from 6 consanguineous families reported with bi-allelic LOF variant and a developmental/epileptic encephalopathy. Seizure onset occurred in the first 2 months of life in all. All 10 individuals, from whom early disease history was available, presented with seizure onset in the first month of life, mainly consisting of epileptic spasms or myoclonic seizures. Early EEG showed suppression-burst or pattern of burst attenuation or hypsarrhythmia if only recorded in the post-neonatal period. Eight individuals had joint contractures and/or pes equinovarus. Seven presented a cleft palate and two also had an omphalocele, reproducing the phenotype of the knockout Gad1−/− mouse model. Four individuals died before 4 years of age.; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 15571623, 32282878; Changed phenotypes: Cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegic, 1, MIM#603513, Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy
