Abstract excerpt
This report describes a 4-year-old male patient experienced prolonged febrile seizures after 1 year of age, multiple febrile seizures and complex partial seizures with secondary generalization. The gene encoding voltage-gated sodium channel alpha1-subunit: SCN1A analysis revealed a heterozygous de novo one-point mutation (IVS16+2 T>C) at a splice-acceptor site. This mutation was inferred to cause truncation of...
