Abstract excerpt
The KCNA1 gene encodes Kv1.1 voltage-gated potassium channel α subunits, which are crucial for maintaining healthy neuronal firing and preventing hyperexcitability. Mutations in the KCNA1 gene can cause several neurological diseases and symptoms, such as episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) and epilepsy, which may occur alone or in combination, making it challenging to establish simple genotype-phenotype correlations....
