promoting
the differentiation and transition of radial glial cells to basal
progenitors and neurons [1]. DOCK7 also regulates tangential neuroblast
migration in the postnatal mouse forebrain [2].
Recently, a new phenotype of early infantile epileptic encephalopathies
(EIEE23, MIM: 615859) was reported in 3 girls from 2
families with 4 different compound heterozygous truncating mutations
in DOCK7 [3]. Here, we report a boy with infantile onset well-controlled
non-encephalopathic epilepsy and severe neurodevelopmental
delay associated with a novel homozygous truncating mutation in
DOCK7.
