ABSTRACT

NKX6-2 encodes a transcription factor involving the genesis and development of oligodendrocytes.Mutations in the NKX6-2 gene are related to a severe variant of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, namely the NKX6-2-related spastic ataxia type 8 (SPAX8). As of March 24, 2020, there are 36 cases of SPAX8 involving 11 mutations of the NKX6-2 gene, which has not been reported in Chinese population.This article for the first time reported a 31-month-old Chinese boy diagnosed as SPAX8 caused by a novel mutation of the NKX6-2 gene at c. 234dup(p.Leu79Alafs*? ) admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation, Guangdong Women and Children Hospital in October 2019 retrospectively.He presented severe global psychomotor delay, spasticity, nystagmus, hearing impairment and trichiasis, ametropia of both eyes, and retinal degeneration of the right eye, which have not been reported in previous cases.His elder sister presented relevant manifestations, but did not perform the genetic testing.Through this case report and literature review, the genotype and phenotype of SPAX8 were expanded.

ABSTRACT

MicroRNA,a type of small non-coding RNA specialized in regulation of gene expression,extensively participates in biological cell development,differentiation apoptosis and other cellular processes.Studies have shown that microRNA plays vital regulatory roles in epilepsy.Its mechanisms include regulation of inflammatory responses,proliferation of glial cells,the reconstruction of the synaptic contact and pro-apoptotic gene expression.This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of microRNA in regulation of epilepsy and the possible regulatory roles of microRNA in other nervous diseases.
