Description

The c.315_335dup21 pathogenic mutation (also known as p.A109_A115dup), located in coding exon 2 of the ARX gene, results from an in-frame duplication of 21 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 315 to 335. This results in the duplication of 7 extra residues (AAAAAAA) between codons 109 and 115, leading to an expansion of the first polyalanine tract from 16 to 23. This mutation was originally reported as (GCG)10+7 in two families with X-linked infantile spasm syndrome and West syndrome (Strømme et al. Nat Genet. 2002 Apr;30(4):441-5). De novo occurrences of the mutation (described as c.333_334ins[GCG]7 and c.333_335dup(GGC)7) were also reported in multiple patients with mental retardation, dystonia, infantile-onset refractory epilepsy, and/or developmental delay (Guerrini et al. Neurology. 2007 Jul 31;69(5):427-33; Mirzaa et al. Pediatr. Neurol. 2013 May;48(5):367-77). In addition, expression of ARX protein harboring the 23 alanines was shown to cause protein aggregation, cell death, and mislocalization (Nasrallah et al. J Cell Biol. 2004 Nov 8;167(3):411-6; Fullston et al. Clin. Genet. 2011 Dec;80(6):510-22). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
