Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) is a focal epilepsy syndrome characterized by seizures that predominantly occur during sleep. The pathogenesis of these seizures remains unclear. We previously detected rare variants in GABRG2, which encodes the γ2 subunit of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR), in patients with SHE and demonstrated that these variants impaired GABAAR function in vitro....
