Type 1 early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE1) is a rare X-link neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the ARX gene. The mechanism remains unclear due to the lack of cellular models for the disease. We previously have generated an iPSC line (OGHFUi001-A) from a male EIEE1 patient with a hemizygous R330L mutation in the ARX gene. Here we corrected the R330L mutation genetically using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate an isogenic control, which was an ideal control to investigate the pathogenesis of the mutation in this disease.

Type 1 early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE1) is a severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy with arrest of psychomotor development caused by hemizygous mutations in the ARX gene, which encodes a transcription factor in fundamental brain developmental processes. A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, termed as OGHFUi001-A, was generated using non-integrating episomal vector technique from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 7-year-old male EIEE1 patient, who had a hemizygous (c.989G > T: p.

Mutations in the KCNQ2 gene encoding for voltage-gated potassium channel subunits have been found in patients affected with early onset epilepsies with wide phenotypic heterogeneity, ranging from benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS) to epileptic encephalopathy with cognitive impairment, drug resistance, and characteristic electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroradiologic features. By contrast, only few KCNQ3 mutations have been rarely described, mostly in patients with typical BFNS. We report clinical, genetic, and functional data from a family in which early onset epilepsy and neurocognitive deficits segregated with a novel mutation in KCNQ3 (c.
