Mechanisms underlying epilepsies associated with sodium channel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Voltage-gated sodium channels provide the molecular basis for the generation and propagation of action potentials. It is therefore not surprising that mutations in different subunits of this ion channel family are the most common cause of genetic epilepsies. Voltage-gated sodium channel mutations are associated with different seizure phenotypes including benign familial neonatal-infantile convulsions, genetic...
