摘要: Hyperekplexia is a rare inherited neurologic disorder that characterized by hypertonia and an exaggerated startle response to sudden external stimuli. Until now, 5 genes are known be associated with hyperekplexia: GLRA1, SLC6A5, GLRB, GPHN, ARHGEF9. In this report, we performed clinical genetic analysis of 4 Korean children hyperekplexia. Two patients had typical manifestations hyperekplexia initially were misdiagnosed as epilepsy. Direct sequencing the GLRB GLRA1 revealed 2 novel mutations, c.298-1G>A c.1028C>T (p.S343F), in patient 1 mutation, c.895C>T (p.R299X), 2. The other familial cases, 3 4, exhibited responses, which appeared at age year, global developmental delay. Those showed negative results for genes.
