Pathogenic variants in result in abnormal neurodevelopment but limited information is available on the spectrum of neurodevelopmental profiles associated with variations in this gene. We present novel data collected at two time points over a three-year period in a nine-year-old patient with heterozygous de novo variant, drug-resistant epilepsy, and left hippocampal sclerosis. Across evaluations, our patient's performance was highly variable, ranging from below age expectation to within age-expected range.

Background: Mutation of the SPTAN1 gene, which encodes α-fodrin (non-erythrocyte α-II spectrin), is one of the causes of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). SPTAN1-related DEE is radiologically characterized by cerebral atrophy, especially due to white matter volume reduction, hypomyelination, pontocerebellar hypoplasia, and a thin corpus callosum, however, no neurochemical analysis has been reported.
Case Report: A Japanese infant female presented with severe psychomotor delay, tonic spasms, and visual impairment.

Background: Pathogenic variants in SPTAN1 have been linked to a remarkably broad phenotypical spectrum. Clinical presentations include epileptic syndromes, intellectual disability, and hereditary motor neuropathy.
Objectives: We investigated the role of SPTAN1 variants in rare neurological disorders such as ataxia and spastic paraplegia.

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurogenetic disorder characterized by severe developmental delay with absence of speech, happy disposition, frequent laughter, hyperactivity, stereotypies, ataxia and seizures with specific EEG abnormalities. There is a 10-15% of patients with an AS phenotype whose genetic cause remains unknown (Angelman-like syndrome, AS-like). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on a cohort of 14 patients with clinical features of AS and no molecular diagnosis.
