Unexpected Efficacy of a Novel Sodium Channel Modulator in Dravet Syndrome
Abstract Dravet syndrome, an epileptic encephalopathy affecting children, largely results from heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the brain voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN1A. Heterozygous Scn1a knockout (Scn1a +/−) mice recapitulate the severe epilepsy phenotype of Dravet syndrome and...
