This report describes a female patient harboring a\n                    <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic>\n                    heterozygous variant c.110G&amp;gt;A (p.Arg37His) in the\n                    <jats:italic>DHDDS<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene, characterized by childhood-onset myoclonus-like movement disorder (at age 6) and late-onset epilepsy (at age 17). The movement disorder was remarkably improved through the levetiracetam+ clonazepam+ haloperidol triple therapy, and epileptic seizures were also effectively controlled. A retrospective analysis of 59 epilepsy patients with\n                    <jats:italic>DHDDS<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene variants revealed significant clinical heterogeneity in disease phenotypes caused by\n                    <jats:italic>DHDDS<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutations. Epilepsy was identified as the predominant symptom, commonly accompanied by movement disorders and varying degrees of intellectual disability. Furthermore, while pathogenic mutations in\n                    <jats:italic>DHDDS<\/jats:italic>\n                    tend to be relatively clustered, no definitive genotype-phenotype correlation has been established. This study highlights the clinical manifestations, imaging features, treatment experiences, and genetic testing results through case reports and literature review, thereby providing crucial references for the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and further research of such diseases.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2026.1801725","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]],"date-time":"2026-05-11T05:30:18Z","timestamp":1778477418000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Recurrent pathogenic mutation c.110G&gt;A in DHDDS gene"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Ci","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Prenatal Diagnosis Center, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiaoyu","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Clinical Neurology, Ministry of Education, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]},{"name":"Department of Neurology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]},{"name":"Key Neurological Laboratory of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Harrison International Peace Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University, Hengshui","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siming","family":"Bu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenlu","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prenatal Diagnosis Center, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiangnan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prenatal Diagnosis Center, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moyuan","family":"Quan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Clinical Neurology, Ministry of Education, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]},{"name":"Department of Neurology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]},{"name":"Key Neurological Laboratory of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Clinical Neurology, Ministry of Education, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]},{"name":"Department of Neurology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]},{"name":"Key Neurological Laboratory of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang","place":["Hebei, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1186\/s13023-022-02213-z","article-title":"Diagnostic yield of next-generation sequencing in 87 families with neurodevelopmental disorders","volume":"17","author":"\u00c1lvarez-Mora","year":"2022","journal-title":"Orphanet.
