Pharmacological approaches in drug-resistant pediatric epilepsies caused by pathogenic variants in potassium channel genes

Abstract excerpt

Variants in genes encoding for voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels are frequent cause of drug-resistant pediatric epilepsies. Obtaining a molecular diagnosis gives the opportunity to assess the efficacy of pharmacological strategies based on in vitro features of mutant channels. In this retrospective observational study, we selected patients with drug-resistant pediatric epilepsies caused by variants in potassium...
