Abstract excerpt
We report on a heterozygous KCNA2 variant in a child with epilepsy. KCNA2 encodes KV1.2 subunits, which form homotetrameric potassium channels and participate in heterotetrameric channel complexes with other KV1-family subunits, regulating neuronal excitability. The mutation causes substitution F233S at the KV1.2 charge transfer center of the voltage-sensing domain. Immunocytochemical trafficking assays showed...
