Abstract excerpt
KCND3 encodes the voltage-gated potassium channel KV4.3 that is highly expressed in the cerebellum, where it regulates dendritic excitability and calcium influx. Loss-of-function KV4.3 mutations have been associated with dominant spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA19/22). By targeted NGS sequencing, we identified two novel KCND3 missense variants of the KV4.3 channel: p.S347W identified in a patient with adult-onset pure...
