KCNA1 activates KCN. 2 / 2

reach
"Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is caused by mutations in the KCNA1 gene encoding the fast potassium channel Kv1.1 and is characterized clinically by brief episodes of ataxia and continuous and spontaneous motor unit activity."

reach
"Despite this limitation, the current literature provides evidence that even in channelopathies with central nervous system symptoms, like seizures in the case of voltage-dependent Na channel β-subunit mutation [9] and episodes of ataxia caused by Kv1.1 fast potassium channel dysfunction [12,13,14], complex changes in excitability can be studied using an NES and that mutation carriers can be distinguished from healthy individuals."
