Voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit 2 (SCN2A) gene mutations are associated with neonatal seizures and a wide range of epilepsy syndromes. Previous reports suggest that traditional sodium channel blockers (SCBs) such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine have a beneficial effect on SCN2A-related neonatal seizures, as they counteract the gain-of-function effect of mutated Nav1.2 channels....
