Abstract

Cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5, OMIM 300203), also known as STK9 (serine/threonine kinase 9), is a gene that is thought to play a role in the production of proteins involved in the normal development of the brain, although its function is not known exactly. It is located in the p22.13 region of X chromosome. Some of the mutations reported in this gene have been found to be associated with epilepsy characterized with progressive seizures, non-epileptic autism and mild epilepsy phenotypes in infancy and early childhood despite treatment with at least two antiepileptic drugs (AED). In this study, we evaluated the relationship between 119C>T (A40V), 215T>A/C (I72N, I72T), 455G>T (C152P), 525A>T (R175S), 533G>A (G178D), 539C>T (P180L), 1330C>T (R444C) and 2635_2636delCT (L879E) polymorphisms in CDKL5 gene and intractable seizures and autism disorder. DNA extraction was performed after blood samples were collected. Identified mutations were analysed with Real-Time PCR method. The results obtained from the patient and control groups were compared. It was found that one female patient in the intractable seizure patient group carried the CDKL5 gene 525 A>T (R175S) mutation, while one female patient in the intractable seizure patient group carried the 539 C>T (P180L) mutation. It is thought that CDKL5 gene mutation research will be useful in the diagnosis of aetiology in new-borns that have intractable epilepsy despite AED treatment. The fact that CDKL5 mutant patients have autistic findings shows that this gene is among candidate genes for ASD, although no mutation was found in this patient group in our study. Cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5, OMIM 300203), STK9 (serine/threonine kinase 9) olarak da bilinen, işlevi tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte beynin normal gelişiminde görev alan proteinlerin yapımında rol oynadığı düşünülen bir gendir. X kromozomunun p22.13 bölgesinde yerleşim gösterir. Bu gende bildirilen mutasyonların bir kısmı infantil dönemde ve erken çocuklukta en az iki antiepileptik ilaç (AEİ) tedavisine rağmen ilerleyen nöbetlerle karakterize epilepsi, epilepsisiz otizm ve ılımlı epilepsi fenotipleri ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada CDKL5 geninde 119C>T (A40V), 215T>A/C (I72N, I72T), 455G>T (C152P), 525A>T (R175S), 533G>A (G178D), 539C>T (P180L), 1330C>T (R444C) ve 2635_2636delCT (L879E) polimorfizmleri ile dirençli nöbet ve otistik bozukluk arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirdik. Kan örnekleri toplandıktan sonra, DNA eldesi yapıldı. Belirlenen mutasyonlar, gerçek zamanlı (Real-Time) PZR yöntemi ile araştırıldı. Hasta ve kontrol grubundan elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. CDKL5 geni 525 A>T (R175S), mutasyonunu dirençli nöbet hasta grubunda 1 kız çocuğunun, 539 C>T (P180L) mutasyonunu ise yine dirençli nöbet hasta grubunda bir kız çocuğunun heterozigot taşıdığı bulunmuştur. AEİ tedavisine rağmen dirençli epilepsili yenidoğanlarda CDKL5 geni mutasyon araştırmasının etyolojiye yönelik tanıda faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir. CDKL5 mutant hastalarda otistik bulgulara rastlanması, çalışmamızda bu grup hastalarda mutasyon tespit edilmemiş olmasına rağmen hala OSB için bu geni hala aday genler arasında göstermektedir.
