伴有癫痫的脆性X综合征家系1例

A fragile X syndrome family with epilepsy

脆性X综合征(fragile X syndrome,FXS)是FMR1基因CGG异常重复扩增导致的疾病。本文报告1对经基因检测诊断为FXS的兄弟,2例患者分别为15岁和14岁,均存在语言障碍、智力障碍、注意力缺陷障碍、孤独症谱系障碍和FXS特征性面容等临床表现,其中先证者伴有罕见的晚发性癫痫发作,经左乙拉西坦治疗效果良好,而其弟弟经反复随访未见脑电图异常。该对病例提示FXS临床表型具有多样性和异质性。

Fragile X syndrome(FXS)is caused by abnormal duplication and amplification of the FMR1 gene CGG.This article reports a pair of brothers diagnosed with FXS by genetic testing.Two patients,aged 15 and 14 years old respectively,both had clinical manifestations such as language disorders,intellectual disabilities,attention deficit disorder,autism spectrum disorder,and FXS's characteristic facial features.The proband had a rare late-onset epileptic seizure,which was well treated with levetiracetam,while his younger brother had no electroencephalogram abnormalities after repeated follow-up.This pair of cases suggests that the clinical phenotype of FXS has diversity and heterogeneity.
