Astrocytic GABA transporter 1 deficit in novel SLC6A1 variants mediated epilepsy: Connected from protein destabilization to seizures in mice and humans
13 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter 1 (GAT-1)-encoding SLC6A1 have been associated with myoclonic atonic epilepsy and other phenotypes. We determined the patho-mechanisms of the mutant GAT-1, in order to identify treatment targets. We conducted whole-exome sequencing of patients with myoclonic atonic epilepsy (MAE) and characterized the seizure phenotypes and EEG patterns. We studied the protein...
