ObjectiveGNAO1‐related disorders (OMIM #615473 and #617493), caused by variants in theGNAO1gene, are characterized by developmental delay or intellectual disability, hypotonia, movement disorders, and epilepsy. Neither a genotype–phenotype correlation nor a clear severity score have been established for this disorder. The objective of this prospective and retrospective observational study was to develop a severity score forGNAO1‐related disorders, and to delineate the correlation between the underlying molecular mechanisms and clinical severity.MethodsA total of 16 individuals withGNAO1‐related disorders harboring 12 distinct missense variants, including four novel variants (p.K46R, p.T48I, p.R209P, and p.L235P), were examined with repeated clinical assessments, video‐electroencephalogram monitoring, and brain magnetic resonance imaging. The molecular pathology of each variant was delineated using a molecular deconvoluting platform.ResultsThe patients displayed a wide variability in the severity of their symptoms. This heterogeneity was well represented in theGNAO1‐related disorders severity score, with a broad range of results. Patients with the same variant had comparable severity scores, indicating that differences in disease profiles are not due to interpatient variability, but rather, to unique disease mechanisms. Moreover, we found a significant correlation between clinical severity scores and molecular mechanisms.InterpretationThe clinical score proposed here provides further insight into the correlation between pathophysiology and phenotypic severity inGNAO1‐related disorders. We found that each variant has a unique profile of clinical phenotypes and pathological molecular mechanisms. These findings will contribute to better understandingGNAO1‐related disorders. Additionally, the severity score will facilitate standardization of patients categorization and assessment of response to therapies in development. ANN NEUROL 2023;94:987–1004
