Characterization of Fine Motor and Visual Motor Skills in Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome.
Journal of Child Neurology 2024 March 28
Aicardi-Goutières syndrome is a genetic inflammatory disorder resulting in dispersed neurologic dysfunction. Despite a recognition of overall motor impairment, fine and visual motor skills are undercharacterized. We hypothesize that there is a spectrum of fine and visual motor skills in the Aicardi-Goutières syndrome population as captured by a standard outcome measure, the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS-2), which will be proportional to overall disease severity.In a cohort of 74 subjects, the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 grasping and visual-motor integration subtests were administered concurrently with the Aicardi-Goutières syndrome Severity Scale (severe [range 0-3], moderate [range 4-8], and attenuated [range 9-11]). The cohort was also compared by genotype and performance as defined by raw scores. The distribution of Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 scores within a genotype was assessed by interquartile ranges (IQRs).Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 grasping and visual-motor integration performance was the least variable in the TREX1 -cohort (IQR: 10.00-12.00) versus the SAMHD1 and IFIH1 cohorts (IQR: 51.00-132.00 and 48.50-134.00, respectively). Neurologic severity highly correlated with both fine and visual motor skills (Spearman correlation: r = 0.87, 0.91, respectively). A floor effect (lowest 10% of possible scores) was observed within the severe cohort (n = 32/35), whereas a ceiling effect (top 10%) was observed in the attenuated cohort (n = 13/17).This study characterized the spectrum of fine and visual motor function in the Aicardi-Goutières syndrome population, which correlated with overall neurologic dysfunction. The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 grasping and visual-motor integration showed promise as potential assessment tools in moderate and attenuated Aicardi-Goutières syndrome cohorts. A better understanding of fine and visual motor function in this population will benefit clinical care and clinical trial design.
