Case Report: A Novel de novo Mutation in DNM1L Presenting With Developmental Delay, Ataxia, and Peripheral Neuropathy
DNM1L encodes dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), which is a member of the dynamin superfamily of GTPases and mediates mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. In humans, several de novo heterozygous missense mutations in DNM1L have been reported, which were characterized by devastating courses with ref...

Sumario: | DNM1L encodes dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), which is a member of the dynamin superfamily of GTPases and mediates mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. In humans, several de novo heterozygous missense mutations in DNM1L have been reported, which were characterized by devastating courses with refractory epilepsy, myoclonus, and brain atrophy on MRI. We describe a 4.5-year-old male child harboring a novel de novo mutation in DNM1L presenting a phenotype of developmental delay, ataxia, and peripheral neuropathy. The clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging findings, and genetic results were summarized. Meanwhile, all the cases of DNM1L mutations reported were reviewed. DNM1L variants may need to be considered in phenotypes that include global developmental delay, peripheral neuropathy, and ataxia. |
