Abstract excerpt
Nine mutations that cause generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus have been identified in the SCN1A gene encoding the alpha subunit of the Na(v)1.1 voltage-gated sodium channel. The functional properties of two of these mutations (T875M and R1648H) have previously been described. T875M was shown to enhance slow inactivation, while R1648H dramatically accelerated recovery from inactivation. In this report,...
