SCN2A (sodium channel 2A) encodes the Nav1.2 channel protein in excitatory neurons in the brain. Nav1.2 is a critical voltage-gated sodium channel of the central nervous system. Mutations in SCN2A are responsible for a broad phenotypic spectrum ranging from autism and developmental delay to severe encephalopathy with neonatal or early infantile onset. SCN2A can be spliced into two different isoforms, a neonatal...
