A novel epileptic encephalopathy mutation in <i>KCNB1</i> disrupts Kv2.1 ion selectivity, expression, and localization
26 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
The epileptic encephalopathies are a group of highly heterogeneous genetic disorders. The majority of disease-causing mutations alter genes encoding voltage-gated ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, or synaptic proteins. We have identified a novel de novo pathogenic K+ channel variant in an idiopathic epileptic encephalopathy family. Here, we report the effects of this mutation on channel function and...
