14 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Significance Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe childhood epileptic encephalopathy characterized by intractable seizures and comorbidities, including a high rate of premature mortality. DS is mainly caused by loss-of-function mutations of the Scn1a gene encoding sodium channel Na v 1.1 that is predominantly expressed in inhibitory parvalbumin-containing (PV) interneurons. Decreased Na v 1.1 impairs PV cell...
