About
Mutations in the PLA2G6 gene are well known in the classical phenotype called infantile neuro-axonal dystrophy (INAD), a severe neurodegenerative disease starting in infancy with homogeneous clinical, radiological, electrophysiological and pathophysiological features, with early death. Other clinical forms in pediatric patients called atypic INAD have been described in some patients. Expansion of high-throughput sequencing in the last decades has lead to identify mutations in the PLA2G6 gene in pediatric patients with late-onset phenotypes associating progressive ataxia, spastic paraplegia, cognitive regression and/or dystonia / parkinsonism. A high variability in radiological and electrophysiological findings is also described. Less than twenty patients with a pediatric onset have been reported with an atypical INAD. Very poor data are available on management and therapeutic options in these patients and global prognostic is not known. This multicentric retrospective study will record clinical, radiological, electrophysiological and pathophysiological data in pediatric patients with genetically confirmed atypical INAD. Management, therapeutics and evolution of the disease will also be recorded.
Full description
Patients with biallelic mutations in PLA2G6 with an atypic INAD starting before 18 years will be recruited after a collaboration call of neuropaediatricians in France. After family consent, a retrospective collection of data will be performed using REDCap® digital questionnaire performed by the practitioner who follows / followed each patient.
Genetical, clinical, radiological, electrophysiological, pathophysiological outcomes will be anonymously recorded. Therapeutics proposed to patients, potential complications of the disease or treatments, age of premature death will also be recorded.
Data will be computed numerically and analysed in the Clermont-Ferrand center. A descriptive analysis will be proposed as the expected number of patients affected by this rare disease varies from 10 to 30. Median []interquartiles], means [standard deviation] and percentages will be calculated for quantitative data.
