ObjectiveTo improve the knowledge of a rare disease named pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy.MethodsHigh-throughput sequencing and Sanger sequencing were used to validate the genes of epilepsy. Mutation gene validation was performed on two probands and their parents. Analyze clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG), imaging and prognostic features of the two probands.ResultsProbands 1, seizure onset at 4 months, progress as drug-refractory epilepsy, manifested as seizures types origin of multi-focal lesions. Head MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-based tomography (FDG-PET) were both normal. Gene detection showed that Aldehydedehydrogenase (ALDH7A1) gene has a complex heterozygous mutation contain c.1442G> and c.1046C> T.Proband 2, seizure onset at 5 months, manifested as a tonic-clonic seizure. Intermittent EEG and head MRI were both normal. Genotyping revealed ALDH7A1 gene contain a complex heterozygous mutation c.1547A> G and c.965C> T. Two cases were both seizure free by vitamin B6 therapy and gradually reduce the antiepileptic drugs.ConclusionsPyridoxine-dependent epilepsy may be late onset, some patient can be atypical and early experimental treatment can help to identify and the diagnosis should be confirmed by gene test.
