SCN1A activates GEFS+. 5 / 5
| 5

reach
"52 Mutations in SCN1A are known to cause genetic epilepsy syndromes including generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) as well as Dravet syndrome."

reach
"Since we wanted a model system to study the mechanism by which SCN1A missense mutations lead to GEFS+, we constructed transgenic mice using a BAC clone containing the complete mouse Scn1a gene."

reach
"Rare mutations in SCN1A cause a wide spectrum of epilepsy syndromes, including genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) and Dravet syndrome (DS, also known as severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy) 5, depending on the nature of the mutation and possible genetic modifiers on other genes 30."

reach
"This study provides additional evidence that homozygous variants in SCN1A can cause GEFS+."

reach
"SCN1A (Na V 1.1 sodium channel) mutations cause Dravet syndrome (DS) and GEFS+ (which is in general milder), and are risk factors in other epilepsies."
