abstract = {Monoallelic pathogenic variants in LGI1 cause autosomal
dominant epilepsy with auditory features with onset in
childhood/adolescence. LGI1 is a secreted neuronal protein,
functions as a ligand for ADAM22/23, and regulates
excitatory synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability
in the brain. While biallelic ADAM22 variants cause
developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), the whole
picture of LGI1-ADAM22/23 pathway-related diseases remains
incompletely understood. Through international genetic data
sharing, we identified the first ultra-rare biallelic LGI1
variants in six individuals from four consanguineous
families. Affected individuals presented DEE with
neonatal/infantile-onset epilepsy (n = 6/6), global
developmental delay/intellectual disability (n = 6/6) and
infant/premature death (n = 5/6). Brain MRI showed mild
cerebral atrophy in a subset of patients (n = 3/6).
Functional analyses revealed that all LGI1 variants result
in reduced secretion and ADAM22-binding. Residual LGI1
function levels correlated with clinical severity, ranging
from infantile lethality to intermediate phenotypes.
Further, we observed epileptic discharges from the isolated
whole hippocampus of Lgi1-/- knockout mice, experimentally
modelling the hippocampal origin of LGI1-related epilepsy.
Automated behavioural analysis of a mouse model for
ADAM22-related DEE revealed its impaired cognitive function.
Furthermore, we report the first ADAM23 variant associated
with lethal neonatal-onset epilepsy and myopathy.
Collectively, this study defines the LGI1-ADAM22/23
pathway-related disease spectrum.},
