Abstract
Introduction Hemiplegic migraine (HM) is a rare subtype of migraine. HM in children may be atypical in the initial stage of the disease, which could easily lead to misdiagnosis. Methods We report two cases of atypical hemiplegic migraine that onset as an acute encephalopathy. And a comprehensive search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. We selected only papers that reported complete clinical information about the patients with CACNA1A or ATP1A2 gene mutation. Results Patient #1 showed a de novo mutation, c.674C>A (p. Pro225His), in exon 5 of the CACNA1A gene. And patient #2 showed a missense mutation (c.2143G>A, p. Gly715Arg) in exon 16 of the ATP1A2. Together with our two cases, a total of 160 patients (73 CACNA1A and 87 ATP1A2) were collected and summarized finally. Discussion Acute encephalopathy is the main manifestation of severe attacks of HM in children, which adds to the difficulty of diagnosis. Physicians should consider HM in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with somnolence, coma, or convulsion without structural, epileptic, infectious, or inflammatory explanation. When similar clinical cases appear, gene detection is particularly important, which is conducive to early diagnosis and treatment. Early recognition and treatment of the disease can help improve the prognosis.

Front Mol Neurosci 2023; 16:1222321. [PMID: 37555011 PMCID: PMC10406136 DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2023.1222321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genotype-phenotype correlations of the CACNA1A-related neurodevelopmental disorders such as global developmental delay (GDD)/intellectual disability (ID), epileptic encephalopathy (EE), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are unknown. We aimed to summarize genotype-phenotype correlations and potential treatment for CACNA1A-related neurodevelopmental disorders. METHODS Six children diagnosed with CACNA1A-related neurodevelopmental disorders at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from April 2018 to July 2021 were enrolled. The PubMed database was systematically searched for all reported patients with CACNA1A-related neurodevelopmental disorders until February 2023. Thereafter, we divided patients into several groups for comparison. RESULTS Six patients were recruited from our hospital. Three cases presented with epilepsy, five with GDD/ID, five with ataxia, and two with ASD. The variants included p.G701R, p.R279C, p.D1644N, p.Y62C, p.L1422Sfs*8, and p. R1664Q [two gain-of-function (GOF) and four loss-of-function (LOF) variants]. About 187 individuals with GDD/ID harboring 123 variants were found (case series plus data from literature). Of those 123 variants, p.A713T and p.R1664* were recurrent, 37 were LOF, and 7 were GOF. GOF variants were linked with severe-profound GDD/ID while LOF variants were associated with mild-moderate GDD/ID (p = 0.001). The p.A713T variant correlated with severe-profound GDD/ID (p = 0.003). A total of 130 epileptic patients harboring 83 variants were identified. The epileptic manifestations included status epilepticus (n = 64), provoked seizures (n = 49), focal seizures (n = 37), EE (n = 29), absence seizures (n = 26), and myoclonic seizures (n = 10). About 49 (42.20%) patients had controlled seizures while 67 (57.80%) individuals remained with refractory seizures. Status epilepticus correlated with variants located on S4, S5, and S6 (p = 0.000). Among the 83 epilepsy-related variants, 23 were recurrent, 32 were LOF, and 11 were GOF. Status epilepticus was linked with GOF variants (p = 0.000). LOF variants were associated with absence seizures (p = 0.000). Six patients died at an early age (3 months to ≤5 years). We found 18 children with ASD. Thirteen variants including recurrent ones were identified in those 18 cases. GOF changes were more linked to ASD. CONCLUSION The p.A713T variant is linked with severe-profound GDD/ID. More than half of CACNA1A-related epilepsy is refractory. The most common epileptic manifestation is status epilepticus, which correlates with variants located on S4, S5, and S6.

Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:400. [PMID: 36833327 PMCID: PMC9956337 DOI: 10.3390/genes14020400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Calcium channels are an integral component in maintaining cellular function. Alterations may lead to channelopathies, primarily manifested in the central nervous system. This study describes the clinical and genetic features of a unique 12-year-old boy harboring two congenital calcium channelopathies, involving the CACNA1A and CACNA1F genes, and provides an unadulterated view of the natural history of sporadic hemiplegic migraine type 1 (SHM1) due to the patient's inability to tolerate any preventative medication. The patient presents with episodes of vomiting, hemiplegia, cerebral edema, seizure, fever, transient blindness, and encephalopathy. He is nonverbal, nonambulatory, and forced to have a very limited diet due to abnormal immune responses. The SHM1 manifestations apparent in the subject are consistent with the phenotype described in the 48 patients identified as part of a systematic literature review. The ocular symptoms of CACNA1F align with the family history of the subject. The presence of multiple pathogenic variants make it difficult to identify a clear phenotype-genotype correlation in the present case. Moreover, the detailed case description and natural history along with the comprehensive review of the literature contribute to the understanding of this complex disorder and point to the need for comprehensive clinical assessments of SHM1.

Functional Characterization of Four Known Cav2.1 Variants Associated with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:96. [PMID: 36676903 PMCID: PMC9864995 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13010096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Cav2.1 channels are expressed throughout the brain and are the predominant Ca2+ channels in the Purkinje cells. These cerebellar neurons fire spontaneously, and Cav2.1 channels are involved in the regular pacemaking activity. The loss of precision of the firing pattern of Purkinje cells leads to ataxia, a disorder characterized by poor balance and difficulties in performing coordinated movements. In this study, we aimed at characterizing functional and structural consequences of four variations (p.A405T in I-II loop and p.R1359W, p.R1667W and p.S1799L in IIIS4, IVS4, and IVS6 helices, respectively) identified in patients exhibiting a wide spectrum of disorders including ataxia symptoms. Functional analysis using two major Cav2.1 splice variants (Cav2.1+e47 and Cav2.1-e47) in Xenopus laevis oocytes, revealed a lack of effect upon A405T substitution and a significant loss-of-function caused by R1359W, whereas R1667W and S1799L caused both channel gain-of-function and loss-of-function, in a splice variant-dependent manner. Structural analysis revealed the loss of interactions with S1, S2, and S3 helices upon R1359W and R1667W substitutions, but a lack of obvious structural changes with S1799L. Computational modeling suggests that biophysical changes induced by Cav2.1 pathogenic mutations might affect action potential frequency in Purkinje cells.

Complex effects on Ca V2.1 channel gating caused by a CACNA1A variant associated with a severe neurodevelopmental disorder. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9186. [PMID: 35655070 PMCID: PMC9163077 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12789-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
P/Q-type Ca2+ currents mediated by CaV2.1 channels are essential for active neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions and many central synapses. Mutations in CACNA1A, the gene encoding the principal CaV2.1 α1A subunit, cause a broad spectrum of neurological disorders. Typically, gain-of-function (GOF) mutations are associated with migraine and epilepsy while loss-of-function (LOF) mutations are causative for episodic and congenital ataxias. However, a cluster of severe CaV2.1 channelopathies have overlapping presentations which suggests that channel dysfunction in these disorders cannot always be defined bimodally as GOF or LOF. In particular, the R1667P mutation causes focal seizures, generalized hypotonia, dysarthria, congenital ataxia and, in one case, cerebral edema leading ultimately to death. Here, we demonstrate that the R1667P mutation causes both channel GOF (hyperpolarizing voltage-dependence of activation, slowed deactivation) and LOF (slowed activation kinetics) when expressed heterologously in tsA-201 cells. We also observed a substantial reduction in Ca2+ current density in this heterologous system. These changes in channel gating and availability/expression manifested in diminished Ca2+ flux during action potential-like stimuli. However, the integrated Ca2+ fluxes were no different when normalized to tail current amplitude measured upon repolarization from the reversal potential. In summary, our findings indicate a complex functional effect of R1667P and support the idea that pathological missense mutations in CaV2.1 may not represent exclusively GOF or LOF.

Abstract
RATIONALE Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare, autosomal dominant migraine with aura. CACNA1A encodes the α1A subunit of P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels, and its mutations have been associated with a wide spectrum of episodic and chronic neurological disorders, including FHM type 1 (FHM1). PATIENT CONCERNS A Chinese girl and some of her relatives who presented with hemiplegia with or without migraine were found to carry a novel heterozygous missense variant, I1379F, in CACNA1A by whole-exome sequencing. The variant consegregated with the disease and was predicted to be pathogenic. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed with FHM1 clinically and genetically. INTERVENTIONS Prophylactic therapy with flunarizine 5 mg daily was prescribed to the patient. OUTCOMES Therapy with flunarizine was terminated after a few weeks. The intensity of the attacks was the same as before. LESSONS This case indicates that FHM should be considered when a patient manifests with episodic hemiplegia without migraine. In addition, genetic testing is an indispensable method to identify atypical attacks of hemiplegic migraine.

Abstract
This study describes the interaction between CaV3.2 calcium channels and the receptor for activated C kinase 1 (Rack-1), a scaffold protein which has recently been implicated in neuropathic pain. The coexpression of CaV3.2 and Rack-1 in tsA-201 cells led to a reduction in the magnitude of whole-cell CaV3.2 currents and CaV3.2 channel expression at the plasma membrane. Co-immunoprecipitations from transfected cells show the formation of a molecular protein complex between Cav3.2 channels and Rack-1. We determined that the interaction of Rack-1 occurs at the intracellular II-III loop and the C-terminus of the channel. Finally, the coexpression of PKCβII abolished the effect of Rack-1 on current densities. Altogether, our findings show that Rack-1 regulates CaV3.2-mediated calcium entry in a PKC-dependent manner.

Abstract
The CACNA1H gene encodes the α1 subunit of the low voltage-activated Cav3.2 T-type calcium channel, an important regulator of neuronal excitability. Alternative mRNA splicing can generate multiple channel variants with distinct biophysical properties and expression patterns. Two major splice variants, containing or lacking exon 26 (± 26) have been found in different human tissues. In this study, we report splice variant specific effects of a Cav3.2 mutation found in patients with autosomal dominant writer’s cramp, a specific type of focal dystonia. We had previously reported that the R481C missense mutation caused a gain of function effect when expressed in Cav3.2 (+ 26) by accelerating its recovery from inactivation. Here, we show that when the mutation is expressed in the short variant of the channel (− 26), we observe a significant increase in current density when compared to wild-type Cav3.2 (− 26) but the effect on the recovery from inactivation is lost. Our data add to growing evidence that the functional expression of calcium channel mutations depends on which splice variant is being examined.

CACNA1A Mutations Causing Early Onset Ataxia: Profiling Clinical, Dysmorphic and Structural-Functional Findings. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22105180.

Abstract
The CACNA1A gene encodes the pore-forming α1A subunit of the voltage-gated CaV2.1 Ca2+ channel, essential in neurotransmission, especially in Purkinje cells. Mutations in CACNA1A result in great clinical heterogeneity with progressive symptoms, paroxysmal events or both. During infancy, clinical and neuroimaging findings may be unspecific, and no dysmorphic features have been reported. We present the clinical, radiological and evolutionary features of three patients with congenital ataxia, one of them carrying a new variant. We report the structural localization of variants and their expected functional consequences. There was an improvement in cerebellar syndrome over time despite a cerebellar atrophy progression, inconsistent response to acetazolamide and positive response to methylphenidate. The patients shared distinctive facial gestalt: oval face, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures and narrow nasal bridge. The two α1A affected residues are fully conserved throughout evolution and among the whole human CaV channel family. They contribute to the channel pore and the voltage sensor segment. According to structural data analysis and available functional characterization, they are expected to exert gain- (F1394L) and loss-of-function (R1664Q/R1669Q) effect, respectively. Among the CACNA1A-related phenotypes, our results suggest that non-progressive congenital ataxia is associated with developmental delay and dysmorphic features, constituting a recognizable syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder.
