Abstract excerpt
Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder affecting both central and peripheral nerve function, causing attacks of imbalance and uncontrolled movements. Genetic linkage studies have identified mutations in the gene encoding the voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel Kv1.1 as underlying EA1. The EA1 mutations E325D and V408A, residing near the cytoplasmic ends of S5 and...
