Abstract excerpt
Familial epilepsies are often caused by mutations of voltage-gated Na+ channels, but correlation genotype-phenotype is not yet clear. In particular, the cause of phenotypic variability observed in some epileptic families is unclear. We studied Na(v)1.1 (SCN1A) Na+ channel alpha subunit M1841T mutation, identified in a family characterized by a particularly large phenotypic spectrum. The mutant is a loss of...
