Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in SCN8A, which encodes the voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channel NaV1.6, associate with neurodevelopmental disorders, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Previous approaches to determine SCN8A variant function may be confounded by use of a neonatally expressed, alternatively spliced isoform of NaV1.6 (NaV1.6N) and engineered mutations rendering the channel tetrodotoxin (TTX)...
