Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies have been identified in the GABRB3 gene that encodes the β3 subunit of GABAA receptors. Typically, variants alter receptor sensitivity to GABA resulting in either gain- or loss-of-function, which correlates with patient phenotypes. However, it is unclear how another important receptor property, desensitization, contributes to the...
