We report two patients with autosomal dominant neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) harboring the biallelic GGC repeat expansion in NOTCH2NLC to uncover the impact of repeat expansion zygosity on the clinical phenotype. The zygosity of the entire NOTCH2NLC GGC repeat expansion and DNA methylation were comprehensively evaluated using fluorescent amplicon length PCR (AL-PCR), Southern blotting and targeted long-read sequencing, and detailed genetic/epigenetic and clinical features were described. In AL-PCR, we could not recognize the wild-type allele in both patients. Targeted long-read sequencing revealed that one patient harbored a homozygous repeat expansion. The other patient harbored compound heterozygous repeat expansions. The GGC repeats and the nearest CpG island were hypomethylated in all expanded alleles in both patients. Both patients harboring the biallelic GGC repeat expansion showed a typical dementia-dominant NIID phenotype. In conclusion, the biallelic GGC repeat expansion in two typical NIID patients indicated that NOTCH2NLC-related diseases could be completely dominant.
