Anesthesia for ambulatory surgery

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is an adolescent onset type of idiopathic generalized epilepsies. Bromodomain containing protein-2 gene (BRD2), a transcriptional regulatory protein, has a susceptible role in the expression of JME. Considering the polymorphic variations observed in exon 3 of the BRD2 gene, we evaluated the molecular interactions with anti-seizure medication in individuals diagnosed with JME.The genomic DNA was extracted from 5 mL of peripheral venous blood of JME participants (n = 55) and healthy control subjects (n = 55). Detailed anti-seizure medication and outcomes were noted during the study period. Identified novel mutations at nucleotide and protein sequences, compared by multiple sequence alignment. Wild-type (WT) and mutated-type (MT) structures were investigated for molecular docking and interactions with anti-seizure drugs.A common variant at c.1707G>A was found among 23 participants, while a single variant at c.1663ins C was found in one participant. The deletion positions were observed at c.1890delA, c.1892A>T, c.1895A>T, c.1896G>T, c.1897T>C, c.1898T>C, c.1899C>T, c.1900G>T, c.1901C>T and c.1902A>T exhibiting stop codon after p.111Pro>stop; these variants resulted in a truncated protein. In silico analysis was conducted to validate changes; docking analysis showed that novel variant has a significant role in the interactions with anti-seizure drugs.Besides clinical and genetic outcomes, ∼5.45% unique genetical variations were observed in the participants. Significant mimicked at the binding site position (92–111) of human BRD2 ranges ∼8.2%, ∼16.4%, and ∼10.6%. Further, research is needed to identify the importance of polymorphism alterations at the binding site and their molecular interactions with anti-seizure drugs, which might be confirmed in a diverse population with JME.
