Intronic <i>FGF14</i> GAA repeat expansions are a common cause of downbeat nystagmus syndromes: frequency, phenotypic profile, and 4-aminopyridine treatment response

2023-08-05

Abstract excerpt

The cause of downbeat nystagmus (DBN) remains unknown in approximately 30% of patients (idiopathic DBN). Here, we hypothesized that: (i) FGF14 (GAA) ≥250 repeat expansions represent a frequent genetic cause of idiopathic DBN syndromes, (ii) are treatable with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and (iii) FGF14 (GAA) 200-249 alleles are potentially pathogenic. We conducted a multi-modal cohort study of 170 patients with i...
