Pathogenic in-Frame Variants in SCN8A: Expanding the Genetic Landscape of SCN8A-Associated Disease

Numerous SCN8A mutations have been identified, of which, the majority are de novo missense variants. Most mutations result in epileptic encephalopathy; however, some are associated with less severe phenotypes. Mouse models generated by knock-in of human missense SCN8A mutations exhibit seizures and...
