TL;DR

Unlike previously reported KIF1C-related cases, this cohort exhibits a later onset, rare pyramidal involvement, and no consistent neuroimaging abnormalities, thereby expanding the known clinical spectrum of KIF1C-associated disease.

Identification of a Novel homozygous Splice-Site Deletion in KCTD7 Gene Associated with Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy

The particular phenotype that was observed in the patient is comparable to the ones that are described in the KCTD7 related pathologies, combined with segregation analysis indicating both parents carried the variant heterogeneously present is a strong indication that the identified mutation consists of probably pathogenic mutation.
