Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the genes encoding voltage-gated sodium channels cause a variety of epilepsy syndromes, with most of the mutations occurring in SCN1A gene. It is one of the most well-researched epilepsy genes. The SCN1A gene, which seems to be a relevant regulator of excitability of the CNS, is implicated in various epilepsy phenotypes through various genetic mechanisms ranging from common variants to rare monogenic...
