Abstract
BACKGROUND: Benign infantile convulsions and paroxysmal dyskinesia are episodic cerebral disorders that can share common genetic bases. They can be co-inherited as one single autosomal dominant trait (ICCA syndrome); the disease ICCA gene maps at chromosome 16p12-q12. Despite intensive and conventional mutation screening, the ICCA gene remains unknown to date. The critical area displays highly complicated genomic architecture and is the site of deletions and duplications associated with various diseases. The possibility that the ICCA syndrome is related to the existence of large-scale genomic alterations was addressed in the present study. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPALEntities:

Figure 1Pedigrees of the ten ICCA families.
All pedigrees have already been reported: A to D[2], E[3], ICCA-2002[13], P1 to P3 and P7[33]. Pedigree A is also depicted in Figure S2. Black squares/circles: patients with ICCA syndrome (benign infantile seizures and/or paroxysmal dyskinesia). Empty squares/circles: unaffected individuals. Dotted square: phenotype unknown. Asterisks indicate the patients with DNAs available. Patients with underlined IDs correspond to those that were randomly selected for the first series (series S1) of qPCR experiments and that were used for hierarchical cluster analysis of qPCR data (Figure 3, Figure S2). wg: corresponds to the patients used for whole genome CGH (comparative genome hybridization) array studies. cu: corresponds to the patients and to the non-affected individuals used for custom CGH array studies.
Figure 2Schematic map of the pericentromeric region of human chromosome 16.
(A) ICCA consensus region[5]. cen: centromere. nt: nucleotides. (B) Location of the copy number variation (CNV) in the ICCA patients (‘Identified variation’) and of the previously reported CNV (Variation_7105)[23]. Physical locations are indicated according to the NCBI Build 36.1 version (hg18) of the human genome sequence assembly at University of California Santa Cruz website (http:genome.ucsc.edu/). The most updated version (hg19) of the human genome sequence assembly has different nt positions with respect to hg18: for instance, hg18 position 31,862,577 corresponds to 31,955,076 in hg19, and hg18 position 33,539,082 to position 33,631,581 in hg19.
Figure 3Quantitative PCR studies.
Two specific subregions (ICCA.SRa and ICCA.SRb) of Variation_7105 were analyzed in nine unrelated ICCA patients (series S1) and in unrelated control individuals. (A) Comparisons of DCt values for ICCA.SRa (left) and ICCA.SRb (right) between ICCA patients and controls. (**) indicates P<0.01. (***) indicates P<0.001. DCt values of the control DNA pool (Promega) used for whole genome CGH array experiments (Cont Pool 1), of the pool of 50 DNAs of control individuals (Cont Pool 2), and of patient II.4 from pedigree E of Chinese origin[3], are also indicated. (B) Clustering analysis of DCt values for ICCA.SRa and ICCA.Srb in ICCA patients (red triangles) and controls (blue dots). Patient II.4 of pedigree E[3] is also indicated (purple square). The two clusters (Cluster 1, pink circle; Cluster 2, brown circle) that could be statistically isolated from all other values are indicated (see also Figure S2).
