Abstract excerpt
Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental epileptic encephalopathy with frequent intractable seizures accompanied by cognitive impairment, often caused by pathogenic variants in SCN1A encoding sodium channel NaV1.1. Recent research utilizing in vitro patient-derived neuronal networks and accompanying in silico models uncovered that not just sodium-but also potassium-and synaptic currents were impaired in DS...
