DYNC1H1 variants are associated with broad phenotypes including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, spinal muscular atrophy, and mental retardation. However, DYNC1H1 variants related intractable epilepsy have not yet been described in detail so far. Herein, we describe the detailed clinical manifestations of a female patient, carrying a novel de novo variant in DYNC1H1 (p.H311Y), who presented with malformation of cortical development (MCD), refractory epilepsy, intellectual disability, and lower motor neuron disease. We provide a review of previously reported patients who presented with epilepsy associated with DYNC1H1 variants. Of the patients with epilepsy, the DYNC1H1 variants were distributed, on average, in the tail, linker, and motor domains, rather than being mainly distributed in the tail domain as previously reported.
