Abstract
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are a broad and varied group of disorders that affect the brain and are characterized by epilepsy and comorbid intellectual disability (ID). These conditions have a broad spectrum of symptoms and can be caused by various underlying factors, including genetic mutations, infections, and other medical conditions. The exact cause of DEE remains largely unknown in the majority of cases. However, in around 25 % of patients, rare nonsynonymous coding variants in genes encoding ion channels, cell-surface receptors, and other neuronally expressed proteins are identified. This review focuses on a subgroup of DEE patients carrying variations in the gene encoding the Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) ion channel, where recent data indicate that gain-of-function of TRPM3 channel activity underlies a spectrum of dominant neurodevelopmental disorders.

De novo TRPM3 missense variant associated with neurodevelopmental delay and manifestations of cerebral palsy. Cold Spring Harb Mol Case Stud 2023; 9:a006293.

Abstract
We identified a de novo heterozygous transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M (melastatin) member 3 (TRPM3) missense variant, p.(Asn1126Asp), in a patient with developmental delay and manifestations of cerebral palsy (CP) using phenotype-driven prioritization analysis of whole-genome sequencing data with Exomiser. The variant is localized in the functionally important ion transport domain of the TRPM3 protein and predicted to impact the protein structure. Our report adds TRPM3 to the list of Mendelian disease-associated genes that can be associated with CP and provides further evidence for the pathogenicity of the variant p.(Asn1126Asp).

Abstract
Normal brain function requires a tightly regulated balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmissions. γ-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA ) receptors represent the major class of inhibitory ion channels in the mammalian brain. Dysregulation of these receptors and/or their associated pathways is strongly implicated in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. To date, hundreds of different GABAA receptor subunit variants have been associated with epilepsy, making them a prominent cause of genetically linked epilepsy. While identifying these genetic variants is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective genetic counselling, it does not necessarily lead to improved personalised treatment options. This is because the identification of a variant does not reveal how the function of GABAA receptors is affected. Genetic variants in GABAA receptor subunits can cause complex changes to receptor properties resulting in various degrees of gain-of-function, loss-of-function or a combination of both. Understanding how variants affect the function of GABAA receptors therefore represents an important first step in the ongoing development of precision therapies. Furthermore, it is important to ensure that functional data are produced using methodologies that allow genetic variants to be classified using clinical guidelines such as those developed by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. This article will review the current knowledge in the field and provide recommendations for future functional analysis of genetic GABAA receptor variants.

Abstract
As one of the most prevalent and disabling brain disorders, epilepsy is characterized by spontaneous seizures that result from aberrant, excessive hyperactivity of a group of highly synchronized brain neurons. Remarkable progress in epilepsy research and treatment over the first two decades of this century led to a dramatical expansion in the third-generation antiseizure drugs (ASDs). However, there are still over 30% of patients suffering from seizures resistant to the current medications, and the broad unbearable adversative effects of ASDs significantly impair the quality of life in about 40% of individuals affected by the disease. Prevention of epilepsy in those who are at high risks is another major unmet medical need, given that up to 40% of epilepsy patients are believed to have acquired causes. Therefore, it is important to identify novel drug targets that can facilitate the discovery and development of new therapies engaging unprecedented mechanisms of action that might overcome these significant limitations. Also over the last two decades, calcium signaling has been increasingly recognized as a key contributory factor in epileptogenesis of many aspects. The intracellular calcium homeostasis involves a variety of calcium-permeable cation channels, the most important of which perhaps are the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels. This review focuses on recent exciting advances in understanding of TRP channels in preclinical models of seizure disorders. We also provide emerging insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of TRP channels-engaged epileptogenesis that might lead to new antiseizure therapies, epilepsy prevention and modification, and even a cure.

Abstract
TRPM3 is a temperature- and neurosteroid-sensitive plasma membrane cation channel expressed in a variety of neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Recently, rare de novo variants in TRPM3 were identified in individuals with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, but the link between TRPM3 activity and neuronal disease remains poorly understood. We previously reported that two disease-associated variants in TRPM3 lead to a gain of channel function . Here, we report a further 10 patients carrying one of seven additional heterozygous TRPM3 missense variants. These patients present with a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental symptoms, including global developmental delay, intellectual disability, epilepsy, musculo-skeletal anomalies, and altered pain perception. We describe a cerebellar phenotype with ataxia or severe hypotonia, nystagmus, and cerebellar atrophy in more than half of the patients. All disease-associated variants exhibited a robust gain-of-function phenotype, characterized by increased basal activity leading to cellular calcium overload and by enhanced responses to the neurosteroid ligand pregnenolone sulfate when co-expressed with wild-type TRPM3 in mammalian cells. The antiseizure medication primidone, a known TRPM3 antagonist, reduced the increased basal activity of all mutant channels. These findings establish gain-of-function of TRPM3 as the cause of a spectrum of autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorders with frequent cerebellar involvement in humans and provide support for the evaluation of TRPM3 antagonists as a potential therapy.

Abstract
The calcium-permeable cation channel TRPM3 can be activated by heat and the endogenous steroid pregnenolone sulfate. TRPM3's best understood function is its role as a peripheral noxious heat sensor in mice. However, the channel is expressed in various tissues and cell types including neurons as well as glial and epithelial cells. TRPM3 expression patterns differ between species and change during development. Furthermore, a plethora of TRPM3 variants that result from alternative splicing have been identified and the majority of these isoforms are yet to be characterized. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying regulation of TRPM3 are largely unexplored. In addition, a micro-RNA gene (miR-204) is located within the TRPM3 gene. This complexity makes it difficult to obtain a clear picture of TRPM3 characteristics. However, a clear picture is needed to unravel TRPM3's full potential as experimental tool, diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. Therefore, the newest data related to TRPM3 have to be discussed and to be put in context as soon as possible to be up-to-date and to accelerate the translation from bench to bedside. The aim of this review is to highlight recent results and developments with particular focus on findings from studies involving ocular tissues and cells or peripheral neurons of rodents and humans.

Abstract
TRPM3 encodes a transient receptor potential cation channel of the melastatin family, expressed in the central nervous system and in peripheral sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia. The recurrent substitution in TRPM3: c.2509G>A, p.(Val837Met) has been associated with syndromic intellectual disability and seizures. In this report, we present the clinical and molecular features of seven previously unreported individuals, identified by exome sequencing, with the recurrent p.(Val837Met) variant and global developmental delay. Other shared clinical features included congenital hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features (broad forehead, deep-set eyes, and down turned mouth), exotropia, and musculoskeletal issues (hip dysplasia, hip dislocation, scoliosis). Seizures were observed in two of seven individuals (febrile seizure in one and generalized tonic-clonic seizures with atonic drops in another), and epileptiform activity was observed in an additional two individuals. This report extends the number of affected individuals to 16 who are heterozygous for the de novo recurrent substitution p.(Val837Met). In contrast with the initial report, epilepsy was not a mandatory feature observed in this series. TRPM3 pathogenic variation should be considered in individuals with global developmental delays, moderate-severe intellectual disability with, or without, childhood-onset epilepsy.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that seriously threatens human health. Prediabetes is a stage in the progression of DM. The level of clinical indicators including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h postprandial glucose (2hPG), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) are the diagnostic markers of diabetes. In this genome-wide association study (GWAS), we aimed to investigate the association of genetic variants with these phenotypes in Hainan prediabetes. In this study, we recruited 451 prediabetes patients from the residents aged ≥18 years who participated in the National Diabetes Prevalence Survey of the Chinese Medical Association in 2017. The GWAS of FPG, 2hPG, HbA1C, and body mass index (BMI) in prediabetes was analyzed with a linear model using an additive genetic model with adjustment for age and sex. We identified that rs13052524 in MRPS6 and rs62212118 in SLC5A3 were associated with 2hPG in Hainan prediabetes (p = 4.35 × 10-6, p = 4.05 × 10-6, respectively). Another six variants in the four genes (LINC01648, MATN1, CRAT37, and SLCO3A1) were related to HbA1C. Moreover, rs11142842, rs1891298, rs1891299, and rs11142843 in TRPM3/TMEM2 and rs78432036 in MLYCD/OSGIN1 were correlated to BMI (all p < 5 × 10-6). This study is the first to determine the genome-wide association of FPG, 2hPG, and HbA1C, which emphasizes the importance of in-depth understanding of the phenotypes of high-value susceptibility gene markers in the diagnosis of prediabetes.

Abstract
Sex hormone steroidal drugs were reported to have modulating actions on the ion channel TRPM3. Pregnenolone sulphate (PS) presents the most potent known endogenous chemical agonist of TRPM3 and affects several gating modes of the channel. These includes a synergistic action of PS and high temperatures on channel opening and the PS-induced opening of a noncanonical pore in the presence of other TRPM3 modulators. Moreover, human TRPM3 variants associated with neurodevelopmental disease exhibit an increased sensitivity for PS. However, other steroidal sex hormones were reported to influence TRPM3 functions with activating or inhibiting capacity. Here, we aimed to answer how DHEAS, estradiol, progesterone and testosterone act on the various modes of TRPM3 function in the wild-type channel and two-channel variants associated with human disease. By means of calcium imaging and whole-cell patch clamp experiments, we revealed that all four drugs are weak TRPM3 agonists that share a common steroidal interaction site. Furthermore, they exhibit increased activity on TRPM3 at physiological temperatures and in channels that carry disease-associated mutations. Finally, all steroids are able to open the noncanonical pore in wild-type and DHEAS also in mutant TRPM3. Collectively, our data provide new valuable insights in TRPM3 gating, structure-function relationships and ligand sensitivity.
