Myoclonic dystonia phenotype related to a novel calmodulin-binding transcription activator 1 sequence variant
2021
Abstrakt
Intragenic rearrangements and sequence variants in the calmodulin-binding transcription activator 1 gene (CAMTA1) can result in a spectrum of clinical presentations, most notably congenital ataxia with or without intellectual disability. We describe for the first time a myoclonic dystonia-predominant phenotype associated with a novel CAMTA1 sequence variant.
Furthermore, by identifying an additional, recurrent CAMTA1 sequence variant in an individual with a more typical neurodevelopmental disease manifestation, we contribute to the elucidation of phenotypic variability associated with CAMTA1 gene mutations.
