Abstract excerpt
Two mutations that cause generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) have been identified previously in the SCN1A gene encoding the alpha subunit of the Na(v)1.1 voltage-gated sodium channel (Escayg et al., 2000). Both mutations change conserved residues in putative voltage-sensing S4 segments, T875M in domain II and R1648H in domain IV. Each mutation was cloned into the orthologous rat channel...
