表1 7例CDKL5患儿临床资料
7例患儿起病年龄为22 d至8月龄,中位年龄2月龄。就诊年龄为1月龄至8月龄,中位年龄2月龄。病初发作形式多单一,例3~6表现为部分性发作、例1~4和7为强直发作,随病情进展7例发作形式、发作频次均逐渐增多,均有痉挛发作表现,例1、3和7肌阵挛发作也较为常见,例3在4岁7月转化为Lennox-Gastaut综合征。例7在出现抽搐前即有精神运动发育落后,表现为3月龄竖头不稳,6月龄不能独坐,余6例患儿在起病后出现精神运动发育迟滞。7例均有幼稚面容,例1、2、6和7有异常面容的表现;例4和7有明显头围增长进行减速;例2、5和7有眼球异常运动(斜视、眼球震颤);部分患儿有吐舌头、不自主运动异常行为,伴有拍手等手刻板动作;例1和2四肢肌力低、例1~4和7肌张力低。

注 A:CDKL5模式图及本文7例患儿基因突变位点[例1:c.278dupA (p.E93fs);例2:c.401G>C (p.G134P);例3:c.1110del C (p.E370fs);例4:c.58G>C (p.G20R);例5:c.464G>A (p.G155D);例6:c.160-163del (p.K54fs);例7:3~8号外显子杂合缺失];B:CDKL5突变位点分组标准及本文7例患儿分组(a组:aa172前的截短突变致编码的蛋白无功能/CDKL5整体缺失;b组:激酶区域内的错义/框内突变;c组:aa172~aa781之间的截短突变;d组:aa781(不包含aa781)的截短突变
起调节表达作用,可以调节其激酶活性和核酸定位[17,18]。Fehr研究团队在既往CDKL5研究成果的基础上,结合国际CDKL5综合征数据库的临床数据,在2015年首次提出将CDKL5突变分为4种类型(见图1):①第172个氨基酸前出现截短突变导致催化区域功能丧失或整个基因缺失;②催化区域内的错义突变或框内突变(如缺失导致一部分激酶区域功能丧失但其后的蛋白编码完整);③第172~781个氨基酸之间的截短突变,包括移码突变、无义突变等突变类型导致C末端区域丢失但仍有激酶活性;④第781个氨基酸以后的截短突变,保留了激酶活性及大部分C端区域。在此分组基础上,近年来研究表明,D组的CDKL5综合征患儿智力发育较其他组别好,在大运动能区上更可能独站或独走,言语能区上更可能有语言表达发育[19,20]。本文报告的7个突变位点可应用相同分组原则,例1、6和7的突变属A组,病例2、4和5的突变属B组,病例3的突变属C组。结合Fehr等的研究结果,这也解释了本文患儿智力发育均较差的原因。
