Familial Adult Myoclonic Epilepsy (FAME) is characterised by cortical myoclonic tremor usually from the second decade of life and overt myoclonic or generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Four independent loci have been implicated in FAME on chromosomes (chr) 2, 3, 5 and 8. Using whole genome sequencing and repeat primed PCR, we provide evidence that chr2-linked FAME (FAME2) is caused by an expansion of an ATTTC pentamer within the first intron of STARD7. The ATTTC expansions segregate in 158/158 individuals typically affected by FAME from 22 pedigrees including 16 previously reported families recruited worldwide. RNA sequencing from patient derived fibroblasts shows no accumulation of the AUUUU or AUUUC repeat sequences and STARD7 gene expression is not affected. These data, in combination with other genes bearing similar mutations that have been implicated in FAME, suggest ATTTC expansions may cause this disorder, irrespective of the genomic locus involved.

与 2 号染色体相关的家族性成人肌阵挛性癫痫 STARD7 中内含子 ATTTC 重复扩增。

家族性成人肌阵挛性癫痫 (FAME) 的特点是皮质肌阵挛性震颤,通常从二十岁开始,以及明显的肌阵挛或全身强直阵挛性癫痫发作。2、3、5 和 8 号染色体 (chr) 上的 FAME 涉及四个独立位点。通过全基因组测序和重复引物 PCR,我们提供了证据表明 chr2 连锁的 FAME (FAME2) 是由 ATTTC 五聚体的扩增引起的在 STARD7 的第一个内含子内。ATTTC 扩展分离了 158/158 个通常受 FAME 影响的个体,这些个体来自 22 个谱系,其中包括之前报告的 16 个在全球范围内招募的家族。来自患者的成纤维细胞的 RNA 测序显示,AUUUU 或 AUUUC 重复序列没有积累,并且 STARD7 基因表达不受影响。这些数据与 FAME 中涉及的具有相似突变的其他基因相结合,表明 ATTTC 扩展可能会导致这种疾病,无论所涉及的基因组位点如何。
