Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SLC6A1 encodes GAT-1, a major gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter in the brain. GAT-1 maintains neurotransmitter homeostasis by removing excess GABA from the synaptic cleft.

METHODS: Medical history interviews, seizure surveys, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition and...
