Résumé
The type 1 interferonopathy, Aicardi-Goutières syndrome 6 (AGS6), is classically caused by biallelic ADAR mutations whereas dominant ADAR mutations are associated with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH). The unique dominant ADAR c.3019G>A variant is associated with neurological manifestations which mimic spastic paraplegia and cerebral palsy (CP). We report three cases of spastic paraplegia or CP diagnosed with AGS6 caused by the ADAR c.3019G>A variant. Two children inherited the variant from an asymptomatic parent, and each child had a different clinical course. The youngest case demonstrated relentless progressive symptoms but responded to immunomodulation using steroids and ruxolitinib. The ADAR c.3019G>A variant has incomplete penetrance and is a likely underrecognized imitator of spastic paraplegia and dystonic CP. A high level of clinical suspicion is required to diagnose this form of AGS, and disease progression may be ameliorated by immunomodulatory treatment with selective Janus kinase inhibitors.

BACKGROUND

CASE SUMMARIES
METHODS
We report three cases of spastic paraplegia or CP diagnosed with AGS6 caused by the ADAR c.3019G>A variant. Two children inherited the variant from an asymptomatic parent, and each child had a different clinical course. The youngest case demonstrated relentless progressive symptoms but responded to immunomodulation using steroids and ruxolitinib.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The ADAR c.3019G>A variant has incomplete penetrance and is a likely underrecognized imitator of spastic paraplegia and dystonic CP. A high level of clinical suspicion is required to diagnose this form of AGS, and disease progression may be ameliorated by immunomodulatory treatment with selective Janus kinase inhibitors.
