Popis: BackgroundMalformations of cortical development (MCDs) have been reported in a subset of patients with pathogenic heterozygous variants inGRIN1orGRIN2B, genes which encode for subunits of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). The aim of this study was to further define the phenotypic spectrum of NMDAR-related MCDs.MethodsWe report the clinical, radiological and molecular features of 7 new patients and review data on 18 previously reported individuals with NMDAR-related MCDs. Neuropathological findings for two individuals with heterozygous variants inGRIN1are presented. We report the clinical and neuropathological features of one additional individual with homozygous pathogenic variants inGRIN1.ResultsHeterozygous variants inGRIN1andGRIN2Bwere associated with overlapping severe clinical and imaging features, including global developmental delay, epilepsy, diffuse dysgyria, dysmorphic basal ganglia and hippocampi. Neuropathological examination in two fetuses with heterozygousGRIN1variants suggests that proliferation as well as radial and tangential neuronal migration are impaired. In addition, we show that neuronal migration is also impaired by homozygousGRIN1variants in an individual with microcephaly with simplified gyral pattern.ConclusionThese findings expand our understanding of the clinical and imaging features of the ‘NMDARopathy’ spectrum and contribute to our understanding of the likely underlying pathogenic mechanisms leading to MCD in these patients.
