OBJECTIVE: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) can result from dominant, gain of function variants of neuronal ion channels. More than 450 de novo missense variants of the sodium channel gene SCN8A have been identified in individuals with DEE. METHODS: We studied a mouse model carrying the patient Scn8a variant p.Asn1768Asp. An AAV-PHP.eB virus carrying an allele-specific single guide RNA (sgRNA)...
