TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder
SpecialtyNeurology

TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder[1] is a monogenetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathy that affect the central nervous system.[2] The broad phenotype includes global developmental delay, intellectual disability, epilepsy, musculoskeletal anomalies, altered pain perception, ataxia, hypotonia, nystagmus, and cerebellar atrophy.[2][3][4]

Signs and Symptoms

The earliest sign for TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder is usually congenital hypotonia. Infant feeding issues including dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux are also reported.[1] Global developmental delay is nearly always present along with mild-to-severe intellectual disability.[1][4] Epilepsy is reported in 50% of cases.[1]

Other signs of TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder are dysmorphic facial features, scoliosis, hip dysplasia, exotropia, strabismus, nystagmus, ataxia, and altered pain perception.[1]

Cause

TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder.[1] It is thought to be caused by a de novo missense mutation in the S4-S5 linker region or the extracellular S6 region of the TRPM3 gene.[3][5] Since the general population has numerous truncating variants and microdeletions throughout TRPM3, the underlying mechanism for neurodevelopmental disorder is not haploinsufficiency.[3]

Research has shown that these mutations are gain-of-function mutations. The gain-of-function mutations produce increased basal activity of the TRPM3 ion channel as well as increased response to chemical and noxious heat stimuli. The gain-of-function also results in increased intracellular Ca2+. It is possible that this increased channel activity and/or Ca2+ induced nerve damage could be the underlying mechanism of the disease.[5]

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is made through genetic testing usually an intellectual disability or epilepsy multigene panel that includes TRPM3 or whole exome sequencing.[1]

Treatment

There is currently no known cure or treatment for TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder. Treatment for individual manifestations of symptoms may follow standard of care (anti-epileptic medication for seizures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc).[1]

Prognosis

Life span is apparently not impacted by TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder. Not enough data currently exists to understand the disease progression.[1]

Epidemiology

There are currently 28 reported cases of TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder.[1] It is unknown what the prevalence of this disorder is worldwide.

Research

Little research has been conducted on TRPM3-related neurodevelopmental disorder to date. A single study points to the anti-convulsant drug primidone as an off label therapeutic.[6] Primidone is a known TRPM3 antagonist.[7]
