A Nonsense Mutation of the Sodium Channel Gene<i>SCN2A</i>in a Patient with Intractable Epilepsy and Mental Decline
17 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Mutations, exclusively missense, of voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit type 1 (SCN1A) and type 2 (SCN2A) genes were reported in patients with idiopathic epilepsy: generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus. Nonsense and frameshift mutations of SCN1A, by contrast, were identified in intractable epilepsy: severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI). Here we describe a first nonsense mutation of SCN2A...
