Abstract excerpt
De novo variants in the NaV1.2 voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN2A are among the major causes of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE). Based on their biophysical impact on channel conductance and gating, SCN2A DEE variants can be classified into gain-of-function (GoF) or loss-of-function (LoF). Clinical and functional data have linked early seizure onset DEE to the GoF SCN2A variants, whereas...
