Any developmental and epileptic encephalopathy in which the cause of the disease is a homozygous mutation in the DNM1 gene.
Features include always present findings: Poor head control, Narrow forehead, Clonus, and Hypsarrhythmia and others; and common findings: Agenesis of corpus callosum, Broad face, Generalized hypotonia, and Widened subarachnoid space and others.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Brain and nerves | 14 | Clonus, Seizure, Myoclonic seizure |
DNM1 encodes dynamin 1 (864 aa). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP and utilizes this energy to mediate vesicle scission and participates in many forms of endocytosis, such as clathrin-mediated endocytosis or synaptic vesicle endocytosis as well as rapid endocytosis (RE). Highest expression in Brain Cerebellum (373.8 TPM) and Brain Cerebellar Hemisphere (367.4 TPM).
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 31B is associated with mutations in the DNM1 gene on chromosome 9.
DNM1 is classified as a druggable target (Enzyme category) with score 26.1.
Genetic testing for DNM1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 20 always present features, 19 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 31B.
1 publication has been identified in PubMed for developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 31B. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (100%).
