Channelopathy as a SUDEP Biomarker in Dravet Syndrome Patient-Derived Cardiac Myocytes
23 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with a high incidence of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Most DS patients carry de novo variants in SCN1A , resulting in Na v 1.1 haploinsufficiency.
