Abstract

Amaç: Piridoksin bağımlı epilepsi, tipik olarak bebeklik veya
erken çocukluk döneminde inatçı nöbetler ile seyreden nadir görülen otozomal
resesif bir hastalıktır. Nöbetler geleneksel antiepileptik tedavilere dirençli
olup, farmakolojik dozda piridoksine yanıt verir.
Bu çalışmada PBE tanısı ile 
izlediğimiz altı hastanın klinik ve genetik özelliklerini  sunmayı amaçladık.



Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Nöroloji Bilim
Dalı’nda 
Piridoksin bağımlı epilepsi tanısı ile izlenen altı
olgunun klinik ve genetik özellikleri ile prognozu retrospektif olarak
değerlendirildi.



Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 5’i erkek, 1’i kız olup, yaş
ortalaması 6,83±3,71 yıl idi. Nöbet başlangıç yaşı ortalama 22,33± 31,77
(3-90gün) olup, bir hasta (n:4) hariç diğerleri yenidoğan döneminde başlamıştı.
Üç hastada fokal motor nöbet, 2 hastada jeneralize motor nöbet ve 1 hastada epileptik
spazm  izlendi. Hastaların vitamin B6
tedavisi bir hasta hariç erken dönemde başlandı. Erken dönem tedavi başlanan
bir hasta dışında diğer hastalarda mental retardasyon, stereotipik hareketler
ve otistik bulgular izlendi. Yapılan moleküler genetik analizde 5 farklı
mutasyon saptanmıştır [2 olguda homozigot c.1597delG (p.Ala533ProfsTer18), 1
olguda homozigot c.781 A>G (p.Met261Val), 1 olguda birleşik heterozigot
c.328C>T (p.Arg110Ter)/c.1566-1G>T, 1 olguda heterozigot c.328C>T
(p.Arg110Ter) ve 1 olguda heterozigot c.1356 A>C (p.Lys452Asn)] .



Sonuç: PBE tedavi edilebilir epilepsi nedenlerinden biri olup
açıklanamayan dirençli nöbetleri olan bebeklerde  mutlaka düşünülmeli ve terapotik dozda
piridoksin tedavisine başlanmalıdır.

A Treatable Cause of Refractory Epilepsy: Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy

Year 2020, Volume: 14 Issue: 6, 461 - 464, 30.11.2020

Abstract

Objective: Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that typically presents with refractory seizures in infancy or early childhood. Seizures are resistant to conventional antiepileptic treatments and responsive to pharmacologic doses of pyridoxine. In this study, we aimed to present the clinical and genetic features of
six patients followed up in our clinic with PDE diagnosis.
Material and Methods: Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that typically presents with refractory seizures in infancy or early childhood. Seizures are resistant to conventional antiepileptic treatments and responsive to pharmacologic doses of pyridoxine. In this study, we aimed to present the clinical and
genetic features of six patients followed up in our clinic with PDE diagnosis.
Results: Among six patients five were male and one was female. Mean age was 6.83 ± 3.71 years. The mean age of onset for seizures was 22.33 ± 31.77 (3-90 days). Seizures had started in the newborn period in all patients except one patient (n: 4). Three patients had focal motor seizures, 2 patients had generalized motor seizures and 1 patient had epileptic spasms. Vitamin B6 therapy was started in the early period except one patient. Mental retardation, stereotypic movements and autistic findings were observed in the all patients except one patient who had received early treatment. Molecular genetic analysis revealed 5 different mutations [homozygous c.1597delG (p.Ala533ProfsTer18) in 2 cases, homozygous c.781 A> G (p.Met261Val) in 1 case, compound heterozygous c.328C> T (p.Arg110Ter) / c.1566- 1G>T, 1 case heterozygous c.328C> T (p.Arg110Ter) and 1 case heterozygous c.1356 A> C (p.Lys452Asn) ] .

Conclusion: Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy is a treatable cause of epilepsy and should come to mind in infants with unexplained refractory seizures. Treatment with a therapeutic dose of pyridoxine should be started promptly.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.


Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 7 articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
