A Novel Variant of the CHD2 Gene Associated With Developmental Delay and Myoclonic Epilepsy.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic variants in CHD2 have been reported to have a wide range of phenotypic variability in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, developmental delay, and behavior problems. So far, there is no clear correlation between genotypes and phenotypes. This study reports a Chinese patient with a novel heterozygous CHD2 mutation (c.4318C>T, pArg1440*). Her main clinical manifestations include developmental delay, myoclonic epilepsy, and hypothyroidism. Then, we reviewed a total of 144 individuals carrying CHD2 variants with epileptic encephalopathy. In terms of clinical manifestations, these patients are usually described with variable epilepsy phenotypes, including idiopathic photosensitive occipital epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, Jeavon
