Pathogenic variants of the IRF2BPL gene have been mostly associated with early onset epileptic encephalopathy. Movement disorders such as dystonia and ataxia were also reported, with symptoms mainly developing between childhood and adolescence. Here we describe a family with several members affected by a late onset dystonic and ataxic progressive syndrome, caused by a novel heterozygous pathogenic variant in the IRF2BPL gene.

Abstract

Pathogenic variants of the IRF2BPL gene have been mostly associated with early onset epileptic encephalopathy. Movement disorders such as dystonia and ataxia were also reported, with symptoms mainly developing between childhood and adolescence. Here we describe a family with several members affected by a late onset dystonic and ataxic progressive syndrome, caused by a novel heterozygous pathogenic variant in the IRF2BPL gene.
