De novo mutations of voltage-gated sodium channel α <sub>II</sub> gene <i>SCN2A</i> in intractable epilepsies
28 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations of voltage-gated sodium channel alpha(II) gene, SCN2A, have been described in a wide spectrum of epilepsies. While inherited SCN2A mutations have been identified in multiple mild epilepsy cases, a de novo SCN2A-R102X mutation, which we previously reported in a patient with sporadic intractable childhood localization-related epilepsy, remains unique. To validate the involvement of de novo...
