  • Title: NUS1 and Epilepsy-myoclonus-ataxia Syndrome: An Under-recognized Entity?
    Author: Riboldi GM, Monfrini E, Stahl C, Frucht SJ.
    Journal: Tremor Other Hyperkinet Mov (N Y); 2022; 12():21. PubMed ID: 35949226.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Variants of the NUS1 gene have recently been linked to a spectrum of phenotypes including epilepsy, cerebellar ataxia, cortical myoclonus and intellectual disability (ID), and primary congenital defects of glycosylation. CASE REPORT: We report a case of myoclonus epilepsy, mild cerebellar ataxia, and ID due to a new de-novo NUS1 missense variant (c.868C>T, p.R290C), and review the current literature of NUS1-associated clinical phenotypes. DISCUSSION: Pathogenic variants of NUS1 are found in a rapidly growing number of cases diagnosed with myoclonus epilepsy and/or myoclonus-ataxia syndrome. NUS1 should be included in the genetic screening of undiagnosed forms of myoclonus, myoclonus-ataxia, and progressive myoclonus epilepsies.
