Purpose: Familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE) is an epileptic syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance, of which four genetic subtypes (FCMTEI-4) have been reported. In the present study, we described the clinical and neurophysiologic features of a newly diagnosed Chinese FCMTE family, and investigated the genetic cause for this disease. Methods: Clinical information was obtained from affected and normal individuals of an FCMTE family comprising 41 members. Electroencephalographies were analyzed in five of six affected members (including the proband). Brain magnetic resonance imaging, somatosensory evoked potential with C reflex analysis and magnetoencephalokraphy was performed in the proband. Genomic DNA of three affected and two unaffected individuals was analyzed to detect the genetic mutations by using wholeexome sequencing. Results: The inheritance pattern of the pedigree was autosomal dominant. A novel missense mutation c.475C >T (p.A1a159Thr) of PLA2G6 were identified in this family. The mutated locus is highly conserved among other species. The mutation is predicted to have a functional impact, and completely co-segregated with the phenotype. Conclusion: This study identifies a novel PLA2G6 mutation that is the possible genetic cause of FCMTE in this family. This mutation and associated clinical features expand the spectrum and phenotypes of PLA2G6-related disorders including neurodegenerative diseases. (C) 2016 British Epilepsy Association.
