Novel KCNQ2 mutation in a large Emirati family with benign familial neonatal seizures.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in voltage-gated potassium channel Kv7.2 are responsible for benign familial neonatal seizures type 1, a rare monogenic autosomal dominant inherited epilepsy syndrome. We describe a novel mutation (c.1126_1127delA) in exon 9 of KCNQ2, the gene encoding for the Kv7.2 channel, in a large Emirati family with benign familial neonatal seizures type 1. The mutation leads to a frameshift at amino acid position...
