RESUMO

Challenges and Influencial Factors in Autism-Specific Diagnostics in Toddlers Abstract. Objective: What are the particular challenges that make early diagnosis of young children difficult in the clinical routine? What recommendations can be derived from this in practice? Methods: Our interdisciplinary social pediatric team examined 31 toddlers aged 2 to 3 years twice in intervals of 6-9 months in the for outpatient diagnostics regarding suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In addition, we conducted an online survey with further experts. Results: After the first anamnestic interview, 8 of the 31 (26 %) children were diagnosed with a differential diagnosis of ASD. Comorbid disorders, familial peculiarities, and challenges posed by the examination setting and anamnesis made a reliable clinical classification difficult. Conclusion: In our experience, many toddlers can only receive a valid diagnosis after a follow-up examination after starting one or more therapies and regularly carrying out these therapies over a period of 6-9 months and possibly also after structural changes have taken place (care in nursery, implementation of youth welfare measures, or similar).

RESUMO

PCDH12 is a member of the non-clustered protocadherin family of calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins, which are involved in the regulation of brain development and endothelial adhesion. To date, only 15 families have been reported with PCDH12 associated disease. The main features previously associated with PCDH12 deficiency are developmental delay, movement disorder, epilepsy, microcephaly, visual impairment, midbrain malformations, and intracranial calcifications. Here, we report novel clinical features such as onset of epilepsy after infancy, episodes of transient developmental regression, and dysplasia of the medulla oblongata associated with three different novel truncating PCDH12 mutations in five cases (three children, two adults) from three unrelated families. Interestingly, our data suggests a clinical overlap with interferonopathies, and we show an elevated interferon score in two pediatric patients. This case series expands the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of PCDH12 associated diseases and highlights the broad clinical variability.
