Abstract excerpt
Mutations of voltage-gated Na+ channels are the most common cause of familial epilepsy. Benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures (BFNIS) is an epileptic trait of the early infancy, and it is the only well characterized epileptic syndrome caused exclusively by mutations of Na(V)1.2 Na+ channels, but no functional studies of BFNIS mutations have been done. The comparative study of the functional effects and the...
