Emerging neurodevelopmental mechanisms in patient induced pluripotent stem cells-derived spheroids modelling <i>SCN1A</i> Dravet Syndrome
2024-05-10
Abstract excerpt
SCN1A encodes Naᵥ1.1, a voltage-gated sodium channel preferentially expressed in GABAergic interneurons, and it is the major cause of Dravet Syndrome (DS), a rare condition of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Among over 1000 DS mutations reported to date, almost all cause SCN1A loss-of function (LoF). A reduction in NaV1.1 function in inhibitory neurons would subsequently cause an over-excitation...
