RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Pathogenic variants in kinesin family member 1A (KIF1A) are associated with KIF1A-associated neurological disorder. We report the clinical phenotypes and correlate genotypes of individuals with KIF1A-associated neurological disorder. METHODS: Medical history and adaptive function were assessed longitudinally. In-person evaluations included neurological, motor, ophthalmologic, and cognitive assessments. RESULTS: We collected online data on 177 individuals. Fifty-seven individuals were also assessed in-person. Most individuals had de novo heterozygous missense likely pathogenic/pathogenic KIF1A variants. The most common characteristics were hypotonia, spasticity, ataxia, seizures, optic nerve atrophy, cerebellar atrophy, and cognitive impairment. Mean Vineland adaptive behavior composite score (VABS-ABC) was low (M = 62.9, SD = 19.1). The mean change in VABS-ABC over time was -3.1 (SD = 7.3). The decline in VABS-ABC was associated with the age at first assessment and abnormal electroencephalogram/seizure. There was a positive correlation between evolutionary scale model (ESM) score for the variants and final VABS-ABC (P = .003). Abnormal electroencephalogram/seizure, neuroimaging result, and ESM explain 34% of the variance in final VABS-ABC (P < .001). CONCLUSION: In-person assessment confirmed caregiver report and identified additional visual deficits. Adaptive function declined over time consistent with both the neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative nature of the condition. Using ESM score assists in predicting phenotype across a wide range of unique variants.

RESUMEN

Pathogenic heterozygous loss of function variants in CTNNB1 are associated with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental disorder. We report the clinical phenotype of individuals with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental disorder using both caregiver-reported data (medical history, adaptive function, quality of life, and behavior issues) and in-person clinical assessments (neurological, motor, and cognitive function) in 32 individuals with likely pathogenic or pathogenic CTNNB1 variants. Most individuals had truncal hypotonia, muscle weakness, hypertonia, dystonia, microcephaly, and many had a history of tethered cord. Visual problems included strabismus, hyperopia, and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. Half of individuals walked without an assistive device. The mean Gross Motor Functional Measure-66 score was 56.6 (SD = 14.8). Average time to complete Nine-Hole Peg Test was slower than norms. Mean general conceptual ability composite scores from Differential Ability Scales Second Edition were very low (M = 58.3, SD = 11.3). Fifty-five percent of individuals had low adaptive functioning based on the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales. Based upon the Child Behavior Checklist total problems score, the majority (65%) of individuals had behavioral challenges. The mean overall Quality of Life Inventory-Disability score was 81.7 (SD = 11.9). These data provide a detailed characterization of clinical features in individuals with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental disorder.

RESUMEN

KIF1A-associated neurological disorder (KAND) is a neurodegenerative and often lethal ultrarare disease with a wide phenotypic spectrum associated with largely heterozygous de novo missense variants in KIF1A. Antisense oligonucleotide treatments represent a promising approach for personalized treatments in ultrarare diseases. Here we report the case of one patient with a severe form of KAND characterized by refractory spells of behavioral arrest and carrying a p.Pro305Leu variant in KIF1A, who was treated with intrathecal injections of an allele-specific antisense oligonucleotide specifically designed to degrade the mRNA from the pathogenic allele. The first intrathecal administration was complicated by an epidural cerebrospinal fluid collection, which resolved spontaneously. Otherwise, the antisense oligonucleotide was safe and well tolerated over the 9-month treatment. Most outcome measures, including severity of the spells of behavioral arrest, number of falls and quality of life, improved. There was little change in the 6-min Walk Test distance, but qualitative changes in gait resulting in meaningful reductions in falls and increasing independence were observed. Cognitive performance was stable and did not degenerate over time. Our findings provide preliminary insights on the safety and efficacy of an allele-specific antisense oligonucleotide as a possible treatment for KAND.
