    Abstract Background: KBG syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by short stature, dysmorphic features, macrodontia, cognitive impairment, and limb anomalies. Epilepsy is an important comorbidity associated with KBG syndrome, although the entire phenotypic spectrum may not be fully appreciated.
    Methods: We identified five new patients with KBG syndrome-related epilepsy and compared their phenotype to previously reported cases in the literature.
    Results: Five patients with KBG syndrome-related epilepsy were identified. Three patients (60%) were male. Median age of seizure onset was 18 months (interquartile range 5, 32). The epilepsy type was generalized in three patients (60%); in two, the epilepsy type was combined (40%), with focal and generalized seizures. In one patient (20%), the epilepsy syndrome was classifiable and the child was diagnosed with myoclonic-atonic epilepsy. All five patients had pathogenic variants in the ANKRD11 gene. Epilepsy was refractory in two patients (40%). No specific antiseizure medication (ASM) was found to be superior. Literature review yielded 134 cases, median age of seizure onset was 4 years, and seizures were generalized (n = 60, 44%), focal (n = 26, 19%), or combined (n = 13, 10%). An epilepsy syndrome was diagnosed in 12 patients (8.8%). In those with documented response to ASM (n = 49), 22.4% were refractory (n = 11).
    Conclusions: Our study confirms that few patients with epilepsy and KBG syndrome have an identifiable epilepsy syndrome and generalized seizures are most common. We highlight that epilepsy associated with KBG syndrome may occur before age one year and should be an important diagnostic consideration in this age group.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the degree to which likely causal missense variants of single-locus traits in domesticated species have features suggestive of pathogenicity in a human genomic context.
    Methods: We extracted missense variants from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals database for nine animals (cat, cattle, chicken, dog, goat, horse, pig, rabbit and sheep), mapped coordinates to the human reference genome and annotated variants using genome analysis tools. We also searched a private commercial laboratory database of genetic testing results from >400 000 individuals with suspected rare disorders.
    Results: Of 339 variants that were mappable to the same residue and gene in the human genome, 56 had been previously classified with respect to pathogenicity: 31 (55.4%) pathogenic/likely pathogenic, 1 (1.8%) benign/likely benign and 24 (42.9%) uncertain/other. The odds ratio for a pathogenic/likely pathogenic classification in ClinVar was 7.0 (95% CI 4.1 to 12.0, p<0.0001), compared with all other germline missense variants in these same 220 genes. The remaining 283 variants disproportionately had allele frequencies and REVEL scores that supported pathogenicity.
    Conclusion: Cross-species comparisons could facilitate the interpretation of rare missense variation. These results provide further support for comparative medical genomics approaches that connect big data initiatives in human and veterinary genetics.

    Abstract Objective: To further clarify genotype:phenotype correlations associated with variants in KCNC1 encoding the voltage-gated potassium (K+) channel subunit Kv3.1 and which are an emerging cause of a spectrum of neurological disease including intellectual disability, isolated myoclonus, progressive myoclonus epilepsy, and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.
    Methods: We describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of a series of three patients with de novo heterozygous missense variants in KCNC1 associated with nonspecific developmental delay/intellectual disability and central hypotonia without epilepsy or ataxia. All three variants lead to amino acids alterations with mild predicted differences in physicochemical properties yet are localized to the S6 pore region of the Kv3.1 protein between the selectivity filter and PXP motif important for K+ channel gating. We performed whole-cell voltage clamp electrophysiological recording of wild-type versus variants in a heterologous mammalian expression system.
    Results: We demonstrate a prominent leftward (hyperpolarized) shift in the voltage dependence of activation and slowed deactivation of all variants in the clinically defined series.
    Interpretation: Electrophysiological recordings are consistent with a gain of K+ channel function that is predicted to exert a loss of function on the excitability of Kv3-expressing high frequency- firing neurons based on the unique electrophysiological properties of Kv3 channels. These results define a clinical-genetic syndrome within the spectrum of KCNC1-related neurological disorders.
