Download date: 01-02-2025 affects an amino acid residue completely conserved across species down to invertebrates (Fig. 1), and is predicted pathogenic by all in silico prediction tools. It was interpreted as likely pathogenic according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. 3 Analysis of data from both family trios did not identify any other potential candidate variants, including other de novo or biallelic likely pathogenic variants or variants in other genes linked to monogenic movement disorders. Supporting its pathogenic role, p. Met374Arg is located in the protein sixth transmembrane domain, which forms part of the binding pocket core for D2R agonists. A mutation at this residue (p. Met374Leu) was shown to determine a shift of the ligand-free D2R toward the active state, 4 suggesting a similar mechanism may apply to p. Met374Arg. The p. Ile212Phe variant was also shown to cause increased agonist potency and constitutive activation, 1 suggesting that pathogenic DRD2 variants are gain-of-function. In conclusion, these cases highlight that variants in DRD2 should be included in the diagnostic workup of genetically unexplained early-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders. Compared with the previously reported cases, our series expands the age of onset to as early as 4 months and shows that developmental delay, myoclonus, and cognitive and neuropsychiatric dysfunction can be part of the phenotype.
