Abstract
Objective
Loss-of-function variants in SCN1A cause Dravet Syndrome, the most common genetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). However, emerging evidence suggests separate entities of SCN1A-related disorders due to gain-of-function variants. Here, we aim to refine the clinical, genetic, and functional electrophysiological features of a recurrent p.R1636Q gain-of-function variant, identified in four individuals at a single center.
Methods
Individuals carrying the recurrent SCN1A p.R1636Q variant were identified through diagnostic testing. Whole-cell voltage-clamp electrophysiological recording in HEK-293T cells was performed to compare the properties of ...
