Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.2 is frequently implicated in neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Genotype-phenotype studies show that NaV1.2 mutations with mixed gain- (GoF) and loss-of-function (LoF) effects are associated with the most severe clinical outcomes. The R853Q mutation in the second gating...
