Identification of three novel GNAO1 variants in a Chinese cohort with GNAO1 encephalopathy: expanding the clinical and genetic spectrum.
Article in Orphanet journal of rare diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo summarize the clinical characteristics of a cohort of nine Chinese children with GNAO1 encephalopathy and analyze their genotypes.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on nine children diagnosed with GNAO1 encephalopathy at the Neurology Department of two children's hospitals between January 2019 and December 2022. Their clinical manifestations, genetic test results, cranial imaging, electroencephalography and treatment were summarized. Their prognosis was followed up.
resultsAll nine patients presented with moderate-to-severe psychomotor developmental delay and dystonia. Six patients exhibited neonatal or infantile-onset epilepsy, manifesting as generalized tonic-clonic seizure, myoclonic seizure, epileptic spasms, and were diagnosed with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 17 (DEE 17). Two patients presented with choreoathetosis in infancy without epileptic seizure and were diagnosed with the neurodevelopmental disorder with involuntary movements (NEDIM). One patient presented with choreoathetosis at two years of age and developed focal seizures at six years of age, representing an intermediate phenotype. During a follow-up period of 0.8-3.5 years, one child died due to infection. The remaining eight continued to exhibit psychomotor retardation. Pathogenic or likely pathogenic de novo heterozygous missense variants in GNAO1 were identified in all nine cases. Among these, the variants c.17G > T (p.Ser6Ile), c.119G > C (p.Gly40Ala), and c.748 C > T (p.Leu250Phe) are novel.
conclusionIn conclusion, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and genetic variants of a cohort of nine Chinese children with GNAO1 variants and identified three novel GNAO1 variants. Our study expanded the spectrum of genotypes and phenotypes in GNOA1-associated encephalopathy.
