摘要

We report the case of a male patient with an intellectual developmental disorder, generalized epilepsy and a movement disorder associated with myoclonus. The onset of the symptoms was in the first year of life with a slow progression thereafter. Initially, perinatal brain injury was suspected but the diagnosis could be revised at the age of 44 years. Etiologically, the condition is explained by a genetic syndrome due to a pathogenic heterozygous variant in the dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase (DHDDS) gene (c.614G>A; p.Arg205Gln). The clinical presentation and therapeutic options of these rare pathogenic genetic variants are discussed.
