Abstract excerpt
Disease variants in GABR genes encoding γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) subunits are major causes of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). There is no effective treatment for these DEEs, although the GABAAR is a major target for antiseizure drugs. We previously identified the therapeutic effect of 4-phenylbutyrate (PBA) in Gabrg2+/Q390X knockin DEE mice and in this study tested the...
