KCNB1 encodes the α-subunit of Kv2.1, the main contributor to neuronal delayed rectifier potassium currents. The subunit consists of six transmembrane α helices (S1-S6), comprising the voltage-sensing domain (S1-S4) and the pore domain (S5-P-S6). Heterozygous KCNB1 pathogenic variants are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Here we report an individual who shows the milder phenotype...
