Abstract excerpt
Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is an inherited epileptic disorder predominantly linked to autosomal-dominant, loss-of-function mutations in the sodium voltage-gated channel α subunit 1 (SCN1A) gene, which encodes the α subunit of the neuronal voltage-gated sodium ion channel type 1 (NaV1.1). Reduced NaV1.1 function in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic interneurons impairs inhibitory...
