ABSTRACT
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) is a severe encephalopathy in infants and early childhood. In this study we reported a recurrent de novo variant (c.3985C>T, p.R1330W) in HECW2 (HECT, C2 and WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2) (MIM# 617245) identified by screening 240 patients with DEE and summarized clinical features of published DEE patients with HECW2 variants. Functionally, transcriptional knockdown of zebrafish hecw2a led to early morphological abnormalities in the brain tissues. These results suggest a potential functional link between HECW2 dysfunction and brain development.
