Abstract excerpt
Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA-1) is a rare neurological disorder and was the first ionic channel disease to be associated with defects in a potassium channel. Until now 10 different point mutations in the KCNA1-gene have been reported to cause this disorder. We have investigated the functional consequences of two mutations leading to amino acid substitutions in the first and sixth transmembrane segments of a Kv1.1...
