Hereditary ataxias are classified by inheritance patterns into autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked, and mitochondrial modes of inheritance. A large group of adult hereditary ataxias have autosomal dominant inheritance, and autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCAs) are rare, with greater diversity in phenotypic and genotypic features. Therefore, comprehensive genetic testing is useful for identifying the genes responsible for ARCAs.

Background: The ASNS (ASNS, MIM 108370) gene variations are responsible for asparagine synthetase deficiency (ASNSD, MIM 615574), a very rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by cerebral anomalies. These patients have congenital microcephaly, progressive encephalopathy, severe intellectual disability, and intractable seizures.

Method: Clinical characteristics of the patient were collected.

Introduction And Importance: Limbic encephalitides (LE) have symptoms and signs of new-onset seizures accompanied by cognitive impairment and signal changes in the MRI of the limbic system in the brain. Numerous antibodies against the neurons and synapses have been detected so far. Of those, antiglutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (Anti-GAD Ab) impairs the gamma amino butyric acid, one of the primary mediators that naturally prevents abnormal neuronal activity causing seizure.

Anticonvulsant activity of phthalimide was discovered in 2000 by molecular hybridization of thalidomide and ameltolide. In our present research we report some new 4-substituted derivatives of phthalimide with good activity against the tonic and clonic seizures. A series of novel 4-flurophthalimides designed using bioisosteric replacement were synthesized by condensation of 4-flurophthalic anhydride with appropriate arylamines.
