Brief Summary

This prospective natural history study is being conducted to define the electroclinical, neurodevelopmental, and behavioral characteristics of CNKSR2 epilepsy aphasia syndrome (EAS) and intellectual disability (ID) in children aged 6 to 21 years old with CNKSR2 mutations. The data collected from this study will serve as an external control to eventual clinical trials examining precision medicine investigational therapeutics that aim to improve the seizure burden and neurodevelopmental outcomes in patients with CNKSR2 EAS/ID.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (23)

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in cortical evoked response to self-produced speech as measured by voxel-wise source reconstructed brain activation using magnetoencephalography (MEG).

  Voxel-wise source reconstructed brain activation assesses localized brain function by mapping neural activity at the voxel level. It is a unitless measure.

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in cortical evoked response to altered auditory feedback during self-produced speech as measured by voxel-wise source reconstructed brain activation using magnetoencephalography (MEG).

  Voxel-wise source reconstructed brain activation assesses localized brain function by mapping neural activity at the voxel level. It is a unitless measure.

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in resting state background brain activity during sleep as measured by phase lag index using electroencephalography (EEG).

  Phase lag index ranges between 0 and 1 and is unitless. A phase lag index of zero indicates either no coupling or coupling with a phase difference centered around 0 mod π.

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in spike-wave index during sleep as measured by percentage using electroencephalography (EEG).

  Spike-wave index is the sum of all spike and slow wave minutes multiplied by 100 and divided by the total non-rapid eye movement sleep minutes.

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in neurodevelopmental status as measured by Parent Report Form of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition (Vineland-3) Adaptive Behavior Composite score and Domain scores.

  Higher scores indicate a better outcome (minimum score: 20, maximum score: 140).

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in neurodevelopmental status as measured by Parent Report Form of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition (Vineland-3) V-Scale Scores.

  Higher scores indicate a better outcome (minimum score: 1, maximum score: 24).

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in performance on the Receptive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test, 4th Edition standard scores.

  Higher scores indicate a better outcome (minimum score: \< 55, maximum score: \> 165).

  Baseline, Month 12, Month 24

• Change from baseline in performance on the Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test, 4th Edition standard scores.

Study Population

Children with CNKSR2 pathogenic mutation and characteristic features of CNKSR2 neurodevelopmental disorder and/or epilepsy

You may qualify if:

• Age between 6 and 21 years (inclusive) at time of consent.
• Confirmed CNKSR2 mutation, as demonstrated by genetic testing and confirmed by the investigators.
• Confirmed intellectual disability or developmental delays, as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (Moeschler, J, et al. 2014).

You may not qualify if:

• Known pathogenic or clinically suspected mutation in a seizure-associated gene besides CNKSR2.
• Confirmed mutation in a gene besides CNKSR2 that is known to increase the severity of the seizure phenotype.
• Known central nervous system structural abnormality confirmed by imaging scan of the brain that is not consistent with the clinical phenotype of CNKSR2 EAS / ID.
