Abstract excerpt
To determine the effect of an established mutation of the beta1 subunit of Na(+) channels on nerve excitability, studies were undertaken in patients diagnosed with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). Multiple nerve excitability measurements were used to investigate the membrane properties of sensory and motor axons in five patients (aged 18-55 years) who were currently experiencing no...
