"As an
illustration, Han et al. (2012) showed that
enhancing GABA-mediated signaling (with clonazepam) in Scn1a +/− mice
rescued autistic-like behaviors and cognitive comorbidities, demonstrating that these
deficits are at least in part due to reduced GABAergic tone.Overall, our results highlight the direct role of Nav1.1 in IN fast spiking activity and
the impact their dysregulation can have at the network and behavioral levels."

"ETX101 is a recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector containing a GABA regulatory element designed to upregulate SCN1A (encoding the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.1) and restore interneuron function in patients with Dravet Syndrome.Similar to ETX101, STK-001 is an antisense oligonucleotide designed to enhance the generation of wild-type SCN1A mRNA transcripts to restore inhibitory function in Dravet Syndrome (Bialer et al., 2020; Wengert et al., 2022)."
