Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in epilepsy genes result in a spectrum of clinical severity. One source of phenotypic heterogeneity is modifier genes that affect expressivity of a primary pathogenic variant. Mouse epilepsy models also display varying degrees of clinical severity on different genetic backgrounds. Mice with heterozygous deletion of Scn1a (Scn1a+/-) model Dravet syndrome, a severe epilepsy most often caused by...
