ObjectiveTo provide the possibility to explain the relationship between genotype and phenotype, and to provide reference for the clinical treatment of Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the case data of the child (patient 1) diagnosed with SHE in the outpatient department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in December 2017, and inquired about his family history and growth and development history. We learned that the father (patient 2) of the child had a history of epilepsy, and we also collected his medical history and growth and development history of patient 2. We carried out the basic physical examination for the two patients, and basic blood routine and blood biochemical indicators have also been done. In addition, electroencephalogram, Wechsler intelligence assessment and cranial magnetic resonance imaging were performed. After the diagnosis of patients 1 and 2, we treated them with antiepileptic drugs and make them long-term follow-up. What’more, we collected the peripheral blood of patient 1 and his father and mother, sequenced the gene, established phylogenetic tree for the mutation gene, and compared the homologous protein sequence to judge the conservation of the mutation. Moreover, in silico analysis was used to analyze the pathogenicity of the mutant gene. ResultsWe find a family with epilepsy, of whom patient 1 and his father are with epilepsy. Their clinical manifestations are atypical, and their seizures are all in sleep. After a long-term follow-up of two patients' drug treatments, it is found that patient 1 and patient 2 respond well to the drugs. Gene test shows that the mutations of DEPDC5 (c.484-1del c.484_485del) and KCNQ2 (c.1164A> T) are at the same site in both patient 1 and patient 2, and the mutation sites are first reported. What’more, the homologous protein alignment shows that the amino acids corresponding to the two mutant genes are highly conserved. ConclusionThis study mainly reports a family with sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy. Patients 1 and patient 2 have novel mutations of DEPDC5 and KCNQ2 genes. In the long-term follow-up of this study, it is found that the patients are effective the antiepileptic drugs.
