The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, longitudinal assessment of the natural clinical progression of children and adults with Synaptotagmin1-Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder also known as Baker Gordon Syndrome (BAGOS). This will be performed by acquiring baseline measurements and developing effective outcome measures and diagnostic tools for the disorder, to prepare the healthcare system for future clinical trials.

The current natural history study is being conducted in anticipation of future treatments for patients with confirmed BAGOS. The study is an important avenue of investigation that will increase the understanding of the disorder and lead to important diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Its purpose is to identify demographic, genetic, environmental, and treatment modalities and concomitant medications that correlate with the disease's development and outcomes. This study will use standard scales and questionnaires for the assessment of global development, language, memory, and motor function, and by collecting sleep and seizure diaries. A small blood sample will be collected for whole genome sequencing and proteomic analysis. Brain imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings will be collected to identify disease biomarkers. The investigators will also be asking participants to provide a small skin sample for the development of patient specific stem cells which will be used to further understand the impact of Synaptotagmin1 mutations on neurodevelopment and as a potential screen for future therapies.
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
In this study, the primary caregivers/LAR for each participant diagnosed Baker Gordon Syndrome will be also considered participants.
Caregivers/LAR will have to meet the following inclusion criteria:
Caregivers/LAR Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will undergo a 5-10 minute non-anesthesia brain MRI in order to evaluate for changes in brain structure. A 20 to 30 minutes 20 channel surface electroencephalography will be performed in the wake and sleep states.
Other names: Electroencephalography (EEG)
15 milliliters of blood will be collected at the initial visit. Blood samples will be centrifuged, and plasma stored in the University of Missouri Next Gen Precision Health building. Next generation whole genome sequencing and proteomics will be performed on plasma samples. Additional blood will be collected for the DNA biobank.
Other names: Next Generation Sequencing
A 3 mm skin punch biopsy will be collected for developing induced pluripotential stem cells.
Other names: iPSP
Time frame: 24 months
Collection of demographic data, BAGOS-related medical history, past medical and surgical history, current medication, history of immunizations and family medical history.
Time frame: 24 months
Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) (0-2 years ONLY). Maximum global score of 78. Higher scores indicate a higher degree of neurological performance.
Time frame: 24 months

Time frame: 24 months
World Health Organization (WHO) Motor Milestones. Scale of 6 gross motor milestones. Lower scores denote worse motor function.
Time frame: 24 months
Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - 4 (BSID-4) for Developmental delays. Scale is divided into five domains, which are further divided into subdomains. The first step is to calculate the starting point by beginning with the items that are age appropriate. The starting point is validated if three consecutive items are achieved. If the participant affected by Baker Gordon Syndrome does not achieve three consecutive items in a row at the age-appropriate starting point, the evaluator must go backwards to the lower age-starting point until the participant affected by Baker Gordon Syndrome achieves three items in a row. The assessment stops once five items in a row are not achieved.
