Summary

Clinical characteristics.

ATP1A3-related disorder consists of heterogenous overlapping clinical findings that pertain to the four most common historically defined phenotypes: alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC); cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) syndrome; relapsing encephalopathy with cerebellar ataxia (RECA) / fever-induced paroxysmal weakness and encephalopathy (FIPWE); and rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP). These phenotypes exist on a spectrum and should be regarded as classifications of convenience.

AHC is characterized by onset prior to age 18 months of paroxysmal hemiplegic episodes, predominately involving the limbs and/or the whole body, lasting from minutes to hours to days (and sometimes weeks) with remission only during sleep, only to resume after awakening. Although paroxysmal episodic neurologic dysfunction predominates early in the disease course, with age increasingly persistent neurologic dysfunction predominates, including oculomotor apraxia and strabismus, dysarthria, speech and language delay, developmental delay, and impairment in social skills. Other system involvement may include cardiovascular (cardiac conduction abnormalities) and gastrointestinal (constipation, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain) manifestations.

CAPOS syndrome presents in infancy or childhood (usually ages 6 months to 5 years) with cerebellar ataxia during or after a fever. The acute febrile encephalopathy may include hypotonia, flaccidity, nystagmus, strabismus, dysarthria/anarthria, lethargy, loss of consciousness, and even coma. Usually, considerable recovery occurs within days to weeks; however, persistence of some degree of ataxia and other manifestations is typical.

RECA/FIPWE primarily presents with fever-induced episodes (infancy to age 5 years); however, first episodes can occur occasionally in young adults during illnesses such as mononucleosis. Recurrent fever-induced episodes may be ataxia-dominated RECA-like motor manifestations or FIPWE-like non-motor manifestations (encephalopathy) and can vary among affected individuals. Notably, RECA-like and FIPWE-like manifestations can occur in the same individual in different episodes. In some individuals episodes seem to decrease in frequency and severity over time, whereas others might experience worsening of manifestations.

RDP presents in individuals ages 18 months to 60 years and older with dystonia that is typically of abrupt onset over hours to several weeks, though some individuals report gradual onset over the course of months. A stress-related trigger is identifiable in up to 75% of individuals. Dystonia rarely improves significantly after onset; some individuals report mild improvement over time, whereas others can experience subsequent episodes of abrupt worsening months to years after onset. Limbs are usually the first to be affected, although by the time of diagnosis – typically many years after onset – individuals most commonly display a bulbar-predominant generalized dystonia. Exceptions are common and a rostrocaudal gradient is rare rather than typical. Migraines and seizures are also observed.

Diagnosis/testing.

The diagnosis of ATP1A3-related disorder is established in a proband with suggestive findings and a heterozygous pathogenic variant in ATP1A3 identified by molecular genetic testing.

Management.

There is no cure for ATP1A3-related disorder. Supportive treatment to improve quality of life, maximize function, and reduce complications is recommended. This ideally involves multidisciplinary care by specialists in neurology, developmental pediatrics, orthopedics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, speech-language therapy, psychology, mental health, ophthalmology, social work, and medical genetics.

Surveillance: Regularly scheduled evaluations by the treating specialists are recommended to monitor existing manifestations, the individual's response to supportive care, and the emergence of new manifestations.

Agents/circumstances to avoid: To the extent possible, individuals who are heterozygous for an ATP1A3 pathogenic variant should avoid the known triggers for manifestations and/or episodes that include physical, psychological (e.g., missed meals, sleep deprivation), and emotional stress (e.g., excitement, fear); environmental stress (e.g., bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting, heat/cold, excessive noise, crowds); excessive or atypically strenuous exercise; and excessive use of alcohol.

Evaluation of relatives at risk: Clarification of the genetic status of apparently asymptomatic older and younger at-risk relatives is appropriate to identify as early as possible those who should be evaluated for cardiac conduction abnormalities and who should be advised about agents/circumstances to avoid.

Genetic counseling.

ATP1A3-related disorder – including the four historically defined phenotypes of AHC, CAPOS syndrome, RECA/FIPWE, and RDP – is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Most individuals with a more severe ATP1A3-related phenotype (e.g., AHC) have the disorder as the result of a de novo pathogenic variant. About half of individuals with a relatively less severe ATP1A3-related phenotype (e.g., CAPOS syndrome or RDP) have the disorder as the result of a pathogenic variant inherited from an affected parent; about half of individuals have an apparently de novo pathogenic variant. Each child of an individual with ATP1A3-related disorder has a 50% chance of inheriting the pathogenic variant. Once the ATP1A3 pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member, predictive testing for at-risk relatives and prenatal/preimplantation genetic testing are possible.

Diagnosis

No consensus diagnostic criteria for ATP1A3-related disorder have been published.

Suggestive Findings

ATP1A3-related disorder should be considered in individuals with features in any of the following four clinical categories [Vezyroglou et al 2022].

Clinical category

  • Paroxysmal neurologic episodes
    • Hemiplegic events
    • Dystonic episodes, usually with no or minimal response to an adequate trial of levodopa therapy [Termsarasab et al 2015]
    • Seizures
    • Abnormal eye movements
    • Apnea
    • Autonomic episodes
  • Movement disorder
    • Dystonia and/or chorea
    • Ataxia
  • Cognitive impairment. Mild to severe
  • Neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations

Imaging findings. Most individuals have a normal brain MRI; however, focal atrophies have been reported [Arizono et al 2023]. A less common finding is cerebellar atrophy that sometimes occurs in conjunction with ataxia.

Family history may suggest autosomal dominant inheritance with affected males and females in multiple generations (more commonly observed in association with relatively less severe phenotypes), or a proband may be the only family member known to be affected (more commonly observed with more severe phenotypes). Absence of a known family history does not preclude the diagnosis.

Establishing the Diagnosis

The diagnosis of ATP1A3-related disorder is established in a proband with suggestive findings and a heterozygous pathogenic (or likely pathogenic) variant in ATP1A3 identified by molecular genetic testing (Table 1).

Note: (1) Per ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines, the terms "pathogenic variant" and "likely pathogenic variant" are synonymous in a clinical setting, meaning that both are considered diagnostic and can be used for clinical decision making [Richards et al 2015]. Reference to "pathogenic variants" in this GeneReview is understood to include likely pathogenic variants. (2) Identification of a heterozygous ATP1A3 variant of uncertain significance does not establish or rule out the diagnosis.

Molecular genetic testing approaches can include comprehensive genomic testing (exome sequencing, genome sequencing) or gene-targeted testing (multigene panel). Comprehensive genomic testing does not require that the clinician determine which gene(s) are likely involved, whereas use of a multigene panel does.

Note: (1) Single-gene testing (sequence analysis of ATP1A3, followed by gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis) is rarely useful and typically NOT recommended. (2) Given the broad phenotypic spectrum of this disorder (see Scope), use of a multigene panel may also be too restrictive.

  • Comprehensive genomic testing. Exome sequencing is most commonly used; genome sequencing is also possible. To date, the majority of ATP1A3 pathogenic variants reported (e.g., missense, splice, and in-frame codon insertion/deletions) are within the coding region and are likely to be identified on exome sequencing.
    For an introduction to comprehensive genomic testing click here. More detailed information for clinicians ordering genomic testing can be found here.
  • A multigene panel that includes ATP1A3 and other genes of interest (see Differential Diagnosis) is most likely to identify the genetic cause of the condition while limiting identification of variants of uncertain significance and pathogenic variants in genes that do not explain the underlying phenotype. Note: (1) The genes included in the panel and the diagnostic sensitivity of the testing used for each gene vary by laboratory and are likely to change over time. (2) Some multigene panels may include genes not associated with the condition discussed in this GeneReview. (3) In some laboratories, panel options may include a custom laboratory-designed panel and/or custom phenotype-focused exome analysis that includes genes specified by the clinician. (4) Methods used in a panel may include sequence analysis, deletion/duplication analysis, and/or other non-sequencing-based tests.

5.

Gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis detects intragenic deletions or duplications. These methods may include a range of techniques such as quantitative PCR, long-range PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and a gene-targeted microarray designed to detect single-exon deletions or duplications. Exome and genome sequencing may be able to detect deletions/duplications using breakpoint detection or read depth; however, sensitivity can be lower than gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis.

Clinical Characteristics

Clinical Description

Following the initial description of rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP) by Dobyns et al [1993] prior to knowledge of its genetic cause, the understanding of the scope of ATP1A3-related disorder subsequently expanded to include four historically defined phenotypes: alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC); cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) syndrome; relapsing encephalopathy with cerebellar ataxia (RECA) / fever-induced paroxysmal weakness and encephalopathy (FIPWE); and RDP. The widespread use of exome and genome sequencing (i.e., non-hypothesis-driven molecular genetic testing) led Salles & Fernandez [2020] to conceptualize ATP1A3-related disorder as encompassing "a broadly heterogeneous continuum of features" shared among the historical clinically defined phenotypes (see Figure 1).

AHC

Criteria have been proposed whereby a diagnosis of AHC can be established in an individual with two mandatory features in addition to either three major features or two major and three minor features [Mikati et al 2021] (see Table 2).

Table 2.

Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood: Diagnostic Criteria

Mandatory FeaturesMajor FeaturesMinor Features
  • Paroxysmal episodes of hemiplegia alternating between right & left side &/or of quadriplegia
  • Evidence of background abnormal neurologic development
  • Presence of ATP1A3 pathogenic variant
  • Onset before age 18 months
  • Dystonia episodes
  • Different types of episodes occurring independently or simultaneously w/evolution from one or more manifestations to different ones during the same episode
  • Paroxysmal episodes of nystagmus
  • Sleep-dependent spell improvement
  • Occurrence of epileptic seizures
  • Episodes of altered consciousness
  • Abnormal motor function
  • Episodes of autonomic dysfunction

Acute presentation. AHC is characterized by onset prior to age 18 months of paroxysmal hemiplegic episodes, predominately involving the limbs and/or the whole body. These paroxysmal episodes last from minutes to hours to days (and sometimes weeks) with remission only during sleep, only to resume after awakening.

Other paroxysmal neurologic manifestations can include the following:

  • Oculomotor abnormalities (usually the earliest abnormalities seen), including monocular or binocular nystagmus, intermittent eso- or exotropia, skew deviation, ocular bobbing, and ocular flutter
  • Tonic or dystonic episodes (in one or more limbs either unilaterally or generalized)
  • Status dystonicus (sustained contractions of the limbs and potentially the axial musculature, which can be a medical emergency) [Zúñiga-Ramírez et al 2019]
  • More complex dyskinesias, such as chorea of the limbs
  • Episodes of quadriparesis or hemi- or quadriplegia (separate attacks or result from generalization of a hemiplegic episode
  • Seizures and status epilepticus (i.e., a seizure with ≥5 minutes of continuous clinical and/or electrographic activity, or two or more seizures within a 5-minute period without recovery) [Tran et al 2020]
  • Seizure-like episodes without EEG correlation, including status dystonicus and psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES)
  • Autonomic phenomena either during hemiplegic episodes or independently, such as unilateral or bilateral pupillary dilatation, flushing, pallor affecting one limb or hemibody (i.e., either right or left half of the body)
  • Impairment of speech and/or swallowing
  • Respiratory distress with oxygen desaturation during episodes of neurologic dysfunction [Kansagra et al 2019]
  • Headache
  • Non-motor interictal neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations including behavioral outbursts, impulsivity, aggression, and mood disorders [Wallace et al 2020]
  • Developmental delay or other persistent neurologic disability, including speech and language delay [Uchitel et al 2020, Neupert et al 2022, Pavone et al 2022, Ananthavarathan & Kamourieh 2023, Rissardo et al 2024]

Subsequent disease course

  • Persistent neurologic dysfunction. Although paroxysmal episodic neurologic dysfunction predominates early in the disease course, with age increasingly persistent neurologic dysfunction predominates.
    • By early childhood, more than 50% of children with AHC have clinical seizure activity, including focal, partial, or generalized tonic-clonic movements [Uchitel et al 2019, Neupert et al 2022].
    • Persistent motor abnormalities include ataxia, generalized or focal dystonia, choreoathetosis, and/or parkinsonism with tremor/bradykinesia/rigidity.
    • Areflexia or hyperreflexia. Tone may be increased or decreased; thus, at different times affected individuals may find limb movement is either easier or more difficult.
    • Oculomotor apraxia and strabismus can be present.
    • Dysarthria can manifest as difficulty with subtle pronunciation of words or articulation more broadly.
    • Dysphagia typically manifests initially as difficulty swallowing liquids compared with eating solid food, and is sometimes accompanied by drooling.
    • Cognitive deficits include speech and language delay and developmental delay. Impairment of social skills can be in multiple domains [Uchitel et al 2020, Neupert et al 2022, Pavone et al 2022, Ananthavarathan & Kamourieh 2023, Rissardo et al 2024].
    • Neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations can include behavioral outbursts, impulsivity and aggression, and mood disorder [Wallace et al 2020].
  • Other system involvement. It should be noted that as other systems become involved and as manifestations become more complex – that is, cognitive deficits, neurobehavioral issues, and cardiac problems – the boundary between AHC and other phenotypes becomes less distinct.
    • Cardiac conduction abnormalities include T wave abnormalities and intraventricular conduction delay with increased risk of life-threatening cardiac rhythm abnormalities like those observed in cardiac channelopathies [Balestrini et al 2020, Moya-Mendez et al 2021].
    • Gastrointestinal manifestations include constipation, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain (observed in >90% of individuals with AHC [Pratt et al 2020]). Dysmotility, oropharyngeal dysphagia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may also be present. Severity of gastrointestinal manifestations seems to correlate with non-paroxysmal neurologic disability.
    • Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, observed in some individuals, can include precocious puberty, growth hormone deficiency, short stature, recurrent fevers, and erratic body temperature [Wallace et al 2021].
    • Non-sleep-related apneas (NSAs), observed in some individuals, are typically severe and often triggered by epileptic seizures, flu/fever, feeding, GERD, AHC spells (including hemiplegia involving one or both sides of the body, dystonia, abnormal ocular movements, and autonomic dysfunction), sedation/anesthesia, and severe hiccups [Thamby et al 2024].
    • Sedation/anesthesia complications may be severe and include apneas, seizures, bradycardia, and ventricular fibrillation that responds to resuscitation. Moderate complications include non-life-threatening bradycardias, apneas, AHC spells, or seizures [Parker et al 2022].

Prognosis. The level of functioning of individuals with AHC varies widely from person to person. There is no conclusive evidence that AHC shortens life expectancy.

CAPOS Syndrome

Acute presentation. CAPOS syndrome presents in infancy or childhood (usually ages 6 months to 5 years [Demos et al 2014]) with cerebellar ataxia during or after a fever. In addition to ataxia, the acute febrile encephalopathy may include hypotonia, flaccidity, nystagmus, strabismus, dysarthria/anarthria, lethargy, loss of consciousness, and even coma.

Subsequent disease course. Although onset and progression of optic atrophy and sensorineural hearing loss is not well characterized, 14 individuals experienced hearing loss as the first or only manifestation [Lee et al 2020, Wang et al 2021]. While the course and severity of findings can vary considerably, it appears that progression occurs over time. Usually, considerable recovery occurs within days to weeks; however, persistence of some degree of ataxia and other manifestations, including the following findings, is typical [Demos et al 2014, Heimer et al 2015, Potic et al 2015, Maas et al 2016, Duat Rodriguez et al 2017, Rosewich et al 2017, Hayashida et al 2018, Stenshorne et al 2019, Tahir et al 2021, Kaneshiro et al 2024].

  • Hypotonia, flaccidity, hyporeflexia, areflexia, pes cavus
  • Dystonia and choreiform movements
  • Abnormal eye movements (nystagmus, strabismus)
  • Progressive optic nerve atrophy and vision loss
  • Progressive sensorineural hearing loss
  • Brief generalized tonic-clonic seizures
  • Dysarthria/anarthria
  • Dysphagia
  • Cognitive dysfunction, including lethargy, loss of consciousness, and coma
  • Neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations

Prognosis. Permanence of CAPOS symptoms, level of functioning, and life expectancy vary widely.

RECA/FIPWE

Acute presentation. RECA/FIPWE primarily presents with fever-induced episodes between infancy and age five years; rarely, first episodes occur in young adults during illnesses such as mononucleosis. Recurrent fever-induced episodes may be motor manifestations (ataxia, weakness) or non-motor manifestations (encephalopathy) and can vary among affected individuals. Notably, ataxia-dominated (RECA-like) and weakness-dominated (FIPWE-like) manifestations can occur in the same individual in different episodes [Biela et al 2021, Chouksey et al 2021, Zhang et al 2022].

  • Triggering fevers usually accompany typical childhood illnesses, with or without identified infections; rarely, episodes occur during infections without fever.
  • Many episodes involve generalized weakness, usually bilateral hypotonia but sometimes unilateral.
  • Some episodes involve acute cerebellar ataxia, possibly with choreoathetosis or pyramidal signs.
  • Manifestations can involve bulbar function, including dysarthria, dysphagia, difficulty swallowing, and/or drooling.
  • Encephalopathy during fever in some individuals can manifest as impaired consciousness ranging from drowsiness to transient loss of consciousness to coma in rare instances. Other individuals have no alteration of consciousness.
  • Mutism can be a principal manifestation during the febrile phase.
  • Other manifestations that sometimes appear in the acute phase are brief dystonic episodes or paroxysmal stiffness, abnormal ocular movements, suspected seizure, areflexia, or facial grimaces.

Subsequent disease course. The RECA/FIPWE phenotype, particularly the motor deficits, is not yet fully characterized. Some individuals seem to have episodes that decrease in frequency and severity over time, while others might experience worsening of manifestations.

While acute manifestations resolve gradually after the fever resolves, some manifestations persist, especially apraxia and ataxia [Yano et al 2017, Zhang et al 2022]. Unlike individuals with CAPOS syndrome, in almost 50% of individuals with RECA/FIPWE areflexia is the only irreversible loss of sensory modalities reported to date.

During recovery from acute fever, motor manifestations that can also emerge include the following:

  • Cerebellar ataxia (often the most prominent feature during recovery) rather than weakness (Of note, while ataxia can be present during acute illness, it may not be obvious because of hypotonia.)
  • Ocular movement abnormalities
  • Dystonia and muscle rigidity
  • Choreiform movements
  • Areflexia
  • Dysarthria, including speech difficulty (Severity varies widely between individuals.)
  • Seizures (However, epilepsy is not a major feature.)
  • Sustained reduced responsiveness, bradykinesia, and paraparesis (rare)

After the acute phase, some manifestations may gradually worsen, including the following:

  • Persistent motor deficits (particularly ataxia, dysarthria, and dystonia)
  • Inability to walk independently
  • Areflexia (In one individual, electromyogram indicated some distal denervation accompanying areflexia [Sabouraud et al 2019].)

While frank impairment of cognition is not common, cognitive delays and challenges with memory or concentration have been observed. Psychomotor delay prior to episodes has been reported.

Neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations, such as irritability, mood fluctuations, and anger outbursts have been reported but are not universal.

Prognosis. As for all the ATP1A3-related phenotypes, life expectancy and functioning are highly variable in individuals with RECA/FIPWE.

RDP

The RDP phenotype was initially named because its delayed and rapid onset was thought to be distinctive; however, over time it became apparent that dystonia and bradykinesia, its predominant manifestations, are common in the other ATP1A3-related phenotypes [Haq et al 2019].

Acute presentation. The acute onset of RDP may be preceded by mild nonspecific manifestations of dystonia, including limb cramping (most often the hands or arms) [Haq et al 2019].

Primary onset occurs between ages four and 55 years (range: 9 months to >60 years) with dystonia characterized by the following (see Haq et al [2019] and Figure 2):

Figure 2. . In a cohort of individuals with ATP1A3-related rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP), persons progressed to diffuse involvement without rostrocaudal gradient.

Figure 2.

In a cohort of individuals with ATP1A3-related rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP), persons progressed to diffuse involvement without rostrocaudal gradient. Predominance of any dystonia at onset is seen on the left and at initial study visit is seen (more...)

  • Typically, onset is paroxysmal, or abrupt, over hours to several weeks. Although the arms and hands are usually affected first, most individuals – when first examined by a neurologist – have multifocal or generalized paroxysmal spells that can be difficult to distinguish from seizures, especially given that seizures are more common (31%) than paroxysmal events (7%) [Haq et al 2019].
  • Prominent bulbar findings include impairment of speech, voice, and swallowing [Haq et al 2019, Moya-Mendez et al 2020].
  • There is minimal or no tremor at onset.
  • Onset often follows a physiologic stressor, such as physical activity, childbirth, infection, alcohol binge, or psychological stress [Haq et al 2019].

Progression typically stops at or before one month after onset with little subsequent improvement.

Subsequent disease course

  • Dystonia. Although dystonia rarely improves significantly after onset, some individuals report mild improvement over time, whereas others can experience subsequent episodes of abrupt worsening months to years after onset. These events resemble the primary onset, with worsening of bulbar, arm, and leg manifestations over a similar time course; however, because only a few affected individuals have been reexamined over an extended time, documentation of subsequent events is incomplete.
    Preliminary analysis of 14 individuals with longitudinal follow up suggests severity of dystonia can vary over time, with most experiencing stability or mild worsening [Haq et al, unpublished data]. When present, bradykinesia is directly proportional to the severity of the dystonia and appears to be a function of the dystonia, without other parkinsonian features such as pill-rolling tremor and diurnal fluctuation, and with minimal or no response to standard medications for parkinsonism.
  • Non-motor features include the following:
    • Cognitive impairment, a relatively common finding, often precedes motor onset. This can include difficulty with memory and learning, psychomotor speed, attention, and executive functioning. These differences persist after controlling for psychomotor speed and severity of depressive symptoms [Cook et al 2014].
    • Neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations. Although their scores are in the normal range, individuals with RDP frequently report anxiety, depression, general mood disorders, and substance abuse (though not at frequencies significantly higher than those in familial controls). Psychosis was more frequently reported in individuals with RDP (20% vs 0% in familial controls) [Haq et al 2019].
    • Headaches are significantly more common among individuals with RDP than familial controls (68% vs 40%) [Haq et al 2019].

Prognosis. Life expectancy, to date, has been normal. Level of neurologic functioning is highly variable.

Interfamilial and Intrafamilial Variability

Both interfamilial variability (i.e., wide variability of clinical presentation in individuals from unrelated families who have the same ATP1A3 pathogenic variant) and intrafamilial variability (i.e., wide variability in clinical presentation in individuals who have the same ATP1A3 pathogenic variant within the same immediate or extended family) are observed. The factors underlying this variability are the subject of active research.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations

Although ATP1A3-related disorder is a continuum of neurologic manifestations, genotype-phenotype correlations for several ATP1A3 pathogenic variants have been reported [Salles & Fernandez 2020, Vezyroglou et al 2022] (see Table 9).

Phenotypes associated with certain pathogenic variants in multiple individuals include the following:

Intermediate phenotypes (those showing overlap across disease phenotypes), often with onset in childhood, have been reported in individuals with the following ATP1A3 pathogenic variants: p.Gly358Asp, p.Gly867Asp, p.Asp923Asn, and p.Glu951Lys [Anselm et al 2009, Brashear et al 2012b, Roubergue et al 2013, Rosewich et al 2014, Panagiotakaki et al 2015, Pereira et al 2015, Termsarasab et al 2015, Jaffer et al 2017].

Penetrance

AHC and FIPWE. Penetrance is uncertain, as to date most individuals with these phenotypes have a de novo ATP1A3 pathogenic variant.

CAPOS syndrome. There is no evidence of reduced penetrance in the families/individuals reported to date [Demos et al 2014, Maas et al 2016, Duat Rodriguez et al 2017, Tranebjærg et al 2018]. At current writing more than half of CAPOS syndrome case reports include families with more than one affected member.

RDP. The small number of families with RDP studied to date limits the estimate of penetrance; however, several members of larger reported families have had a heterozygous ATP1A3 pathogenic variant but no clinical manifestations [Brashear et al 2007, Oblak et al 2014, Haq et al 2019].

Nomenclature

Rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP) is also referred to as DYT/PARK-ATP1A3 (formerly DYT12). Because classic signs of Parkinson disease, such as tremor, are unusual in individuals with RDP, the term "parkinsonism" in the designation "RDP" represents a subset of parkinsonian manifestations, and the disorder is classified as combined dystonia (previously called dystonia-plus). See Hereditary Dystonia Overview for more information.

Prevalence

The prevalence of ATP1A3-related disorder is unknown. However, because AHC is by far the most common phenotype in ATP1A3-related disorder, the estimated prevalence of AHC at 1:1,000,000 should be close to the overall prevalence of this disorder [Uchitel et al 2021]. More than 1,000 individuals with ATP1A3-related disorder have been reported in the literature Vezyroglou et al [2022].

Differential Diagnosis

Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood

Given the early onset and protean neurologic manifestations in affected infants and young children, the differential diagnosis of alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is unavoidably broad. It is particularly important early in the diagnostic evaluation of an individual suspected of having AHC to exclude metabolic disorders or vascular syndromes that could benefit from specific therapeutic approaches, including moyamoya disease (OMIM PS252350); mitochondrial disorders such as pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency (in which spells are typically accompanied by lactic acidosis; see Primary Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency Overview); and glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome, in which seizures tend to respond to a ketogenic diet. The paroxysmal nature of features in AHC can also mimic inborn errors of neurotransmitter biosynthesis and metabolism such as aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency and tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency. Studies of cerebrospinal fluid neurotransmitters are necessary to exclude this group of disorders early in the clinical course (and prior to ATP1A3 molecular genetic testing), since targeted treatments for these disorders (e.g., neurotransmitter precursors and pyridoxine or dopamine receptor agonist therapy) are available.

The often prolonged episodes of hemiparesis, dystonia, or quadriplegia observed early in the course of AHC are typically not associated with epileptiform activity on EEG, a finding that can help to distinguish AHC from early-infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (OMIM PS308350).

Specific disorders and alternative genetic etiologies to consider include those listed in Table 4. Of note, pathogenic variants in several genes have been identified in individuals with phenotypes consistent with AHC but without pathogenic variants in ATP1A3, including CLDN5, SCN2A, TANGO2, and TBC1D24.

Despite the related genes and manifestations of hemiplegia and seizure, ATP1A2 is expressed mainly in astrocytes instead of neurons [McGrail et al 1991, Sweadner et al 2019], and the underlying pathophysiology is likely to be different from that of ATP1A3-related disorder [Swoboda et al 2004, Jen et al 2007, Sweadner et al 2019].

CAPOS Syndrome

The combination of cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss is unique to CAPOS syndrome. However, an individual with the CAPOS syndrome-related ATP1A3 pathogenic variant p.Glu818Lys may present with a subset of these features (e.g., sensorineural hearing loss in association with areflexia; or cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing without pes cavus) or may present with a single feature (e.g., apparently isolated hearing loss [Lee et al 2020, Lax et al 2021]). (Note: Individuals with the p.Glu818Lys pathogenic variant and only a single feature, or a subset of CAPOS syndrome-related features, should be considered at risk for progression.) Subsets of features seen in CAPOS syndrome and the individual features themselves elicit a broad differential diagnosis including mitochondrial and peroxisomal disorders.

RECA/FIPWE

The differential diagnosis of fever-induced manifestations such as weakness and ataxia is broad and includes the episodic ataxias (see Hereditary Ataxia Overview) [Olszewska et al 2023] and numerous other genetic and non-genetic causes of ataxia. Acute infection and autoimmune disease in particular must be excluded from the differential diagnosis of relapsing encephalopathy with cerebellar ataxia (RECA) / fever-induced paroxysmal weakness and encephalopathy (FIPWE).

Rapid-Onset Dystonia-Parkinsonism

Forms of dystonia-parkinsonism that are more common than rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP) (see Hereditary Dystonia Overview and Parkinson Disease Overview) and potentially treatable must be excluded from the differential diagnosis. Evaluations should include brain MRI and assessment for Wilson disease. Additionally, administration of levodopa should be trialed; in RDP, the brain MRI is grossly normal and the response to levodopa is usually transient or minimal, with only one reported exception [Termsarasab et al 2015].

The differential diagnosis of RDP includes the genes listed in Table 5.

Agents/Circumstances to Avoid

To the extent possible, individuals who are heterozygous for an ATP1A3 pathogenic variant should avoid agents/circumstances known to trigger onset of ATP1A3-related disorder manifestations and/or episodes [Sweney et al 2009], including the following:

  • Physical, psychological (e.g., missed meals, sleep deprivation), and emotional stress (e.g., excitement, fear)
  • Environmental stress (e.g., bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting, heat/cold, excessive noise, crowds)
  • Excessive or atypically strenuous exercise (e.g., walking farther than usual)
  • Alcohol binges

Illness, infections, and fever are common triggers. While practical preventive strategies are lacking, unnecessary exposure should be avoided.

Helmets and protective devices to prevent head injuries should be worn when participating in activities with risk of fall.

There is no known reason to avoid vaccinations.

Evaluation of Relatives at Risk

It is appropriate to clarify the genetic status of apparently asymptomatic older and younger at-risk relatives of an individual with ATP1A3-related disorder in order to identify as early as possible those who should be evaluated for cardiac conduction abnormalities (see Table 6) and who should avoid triggers such as excessive alcohol and exercise (see Agents/Circumstances to Avoid).

See Genetic Counseling for issues related to testing of at-risk relatives for genetic counseling purposes.

Pregnancy Management

It is recommended that during pregnancy a woman with ATP1A3-related disorder be monitored for manifestations of RDP, onset of which has followed childbirth in some (not all) women who are heterozygous for an ATP1A3 pathogenic variant. Pregnancy can also trigger worsening of symptoms in women with CAPOS syndrome [Chang et al 2018].

In principle, abortion or cesarean section could be sufficiently stressful to trigger an episode.

In general, women with epilepsy or a seizure disorder from any cause are at greater risk for mortality during pregnancy than pregnant women without a seizure disorder; use of anti-seizure medication (ASM) during pregnancy reduces this risk. However, exposure to ASMs may increase the risk for adverse fetal outcome (depending on the drug used, the dose, and the stage of pregnancy at which medication is taken). Nevertheless, the risk of an adverse outcome to the fetus from ASM exposure is often less than that associated with exposure to an untreated maternal seizure disorder. Use of ASMs to treat a maternal seizure disorder during pregnancy is typically recommended. Discussion of the risks and benefits of using a given ASM during pregnancy should ideally take place before conception. Transitioning to a lower-risk ASM before pregnancy may be possible [Sarma et al 2016].

See MotherToBaby for further information on medication use during pregnancy.

Therapies Under Investigation

A clinical trial studying the variable phenotypic presentations of ATP1A3-related disorder is recruiting (NCT00682513).

Search ClinicalTrials.gov in the US and EU Clinical Trials Register in Europe for information on clinical studies for a wide range of diseases and conditions.

Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is the process of providing individuals and families with information on the nature, mode(s) of inheritance, and implications of genetic disorders to help them make informed medical and personal decisions. The following section deals with genetic risk assessment and the use of family history and genetic testing to clarify genetic status for family members; it is not meant to address all personal, cultural, or ethical issues that may arise or to substitute for consultation with a genetics professional. —ED.

Mode of Inheritance

ATP1A3-related disorder – including the four historically defined phenotypes of alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC); cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) syndrome; relapsing encephalopathy with cerebellar ataxia (RECA) / fever-induced paroxysmal weakness and encephalopathy (FIPWE); and rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP) – is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

Risk to Family Members

Parents of a proband

Sibs of a proband. The risk to the sibs of the proband depends on the genetic status of the proband's parents:

Offspring of a proband. Each child of an individual with ATP1A3-related disorder has a 50% chance of inheriting the ATP1A3 pathogenic variant.

Other family members. The risk to other family members depends on the status of the proband's parents: if a parent has the ATP1A3 pathogenic variant, the parent's family members may be at risk.

Related Genetic Counseling Issues

See Management, Evaluation of Relatives at Risk for information on evaluating at-risk relatives for the purpose of early diagnosis and treatment.

Predictive testing (i.e., testing of asymptomatic at-risk individuals)

  • Predictive testing for at-risk relatives is possible once the ATP1A3 pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member.
  • Potential consequences of such testing (including, but not limited to, socioeconomic changes and the need for long-term follow up and evaluation arrangements for individuals with a positive test result) as well as the capabilities and limitations of predictive testing should be discussed in the context of formal genetic counseling prior to testing.

Issues unique to RDP. Because of the sudden onset of RDP, at-risk individuals may become hypervigilant about symptoms. Serious psychological issues have been observed in families [Brashear et al 2012a, Haq et al 2019].

Family planning

  • The optimal time for determination of genetic risk and discussion of the availability of prenatal/preimplantation genetic testing is before pregnancy.
  • It is appropriate to offer genetic counseling (including discussion of potential risks to offspring and reproductive options) to young adults who are affected or at risk.

Prenatal Testing and Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Once the ATP1A3 pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member, prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing are possible.

Differences in perspective may exist among medical professionals and within families regarding the use of prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing. While most health care professionals would consider use of prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing to be a personal decision, discussion of these issues may be helpful.

Molecular Pathogenesis

ATP1A3 encodes the alpha-3 subunit of the sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase). Na+/K+-ATPase has three types of subunits (alpha, beta, and FXYD), each of which has multiple isoforms. The catalytic alpha subunit has three isoforms (alpha-1, alpha-2, and alpha-3) expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) by three distinct genes, ATP1A1, ATP1A2, and ATP1A3, respectively [Moseley et al 2003, Sweadner et al 2019]. Although found in a few peripheral cell types, ATP1A3 is expressed exclusively in neurons in the CNS [McGrail et al 1991, Sweadner et al 2019].

The Na+/K+-ATPases convert metabolic energy by moving Na+ ions out of the cell and K+ ions into the cell, restoring the ion gradients reduced by the activity of ion channels and Na+-dependent carriers. In the central nervous system (CNS), the Na+/K+-ATPase is harnessed for reuptake of glutamate and other transmitters, extracellular K+ buffering, extrusion of Ca2+ by Na+/Ca2+ exchange, and the regulation of cell volume. Because it transports three Na+ ions out of the cell for every two K+ ions transported in, it is electrogenic and makes a small direct hyperpolarizing contribution to membrane potential.

Mechanism of disease causation. Both functional studies and structural analysis of the alpha-3 subunit of the Na+/K+-ATPase suggest that missense ATP1A3 variants impair enzyme activity or stability [de Carvalho Aguiar et al 2004, Heinzen et al 2012, Sweadner et al 2019]; however, this loss of function can occur by haploinsufficiency or by dominant-negative effects.

ATP1A3-specific laboratory technical considerations. The 5' end of the three reported ATP1A3 transcripts differ in length, often resulting in conflicting variant numbering in online databases (i.e., ClinVar) and the literature (e.g., several publications reported known variants as "novel" variants). Thus, the authors recommend that all reports use the "MANE select" (Matched Annotation from NCBI and EMBL-EBI) transcript numbering for both cDNA and protein variant identification, as to date it is the only transcript whose expression in the brain has been validated (see www.gtexportal.org). The reference sequence for the MANE select transcript is NM_152296 (NCBI) or ENST00000648268.1 (ensemble) and the encoded protein (NCBI: NP_689509) is 1,013 amino acids long.
