reach
"Together these findings suggest that the circadian and sleep physiology defects in DS mice may be caused by distinct functional impairments arising from the deletion of Na V 1.1 channels in different [MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"The majority of DS cases are caused by heterozygous de novo mutations in SCN1A resulting in truncation of the protein, with haploinsufficiency of Na 1.1 presumed to underlie pathology [18, 19]."

reach
"The Drosophila para gene is edited using CRISPR-cas9 to reproduce specific human DS causing mutations in SCN1A, whilst also introducing a marker mutation (e.g., eye color)."

reach
"As CRISPR technology was unavailable until recently, our initial drug program utilized an ENU-generated mutant for the voltage-activated sodium channel SCN1A that is associated with Dravet syndrome (DS), one of the most-severe forms of genetic epilepsy."
