Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of hereditary hyperekplexia is thought to involve abnormalities in the glycinergic neurotransmission system, the most of mutations reported in GLRA1. This gene encodes the glycine receptor α1 subunit, which has an extracellular domain (ECD) and a transmembrane domain (TMD) with 4 α-helices (TM1-TM4). CASE PRESENTATION: We investigated the genetic cause of hyperekplexia in a Chinese...
