Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Infantile spasms (IS) are severe epileptic encephalopathy during infancy. The SCN1A encodes the α1 subunit of the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channels, and mutations in SCN1A have been frequently detected in idiopathic epilepsy and encephalopathy, which had similar symptoms as IS. Therefore, we investigated the association of SCN1A polymorphism with the IS and the responsiveness to...
