Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: De novo missense variants in KCNQ5, encoding the voltage-gated K+ channel KV7.5, have been described to cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) or intellectual disability (ID). We set out to identify disease-related KCNQ5 variants in genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) and their underlying mechanisms. METHODS: 1292 families with GGE were studied by next-generation sequencing. Whole-cell...
