The gene encodes the sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 13. With the use of whole-exome sequencing, a de novo missense mutation in was identified in a 4-yr-old female who initially exhibited symptoms of epilepsy at the age of 5 mo that progressed to a severe condition with very little movement, including being unable to sit or walk on her own.
该基因编码钠电压门控通道α亚基8。该基因的突变与13型早发性婴儿癫痫性脑病相关。通过全外显子组测序,在一名4岁女性中发现了一个新发的错义突变,该女性在5个月大时最初出现癫痫症状,病情进展严重,几乎无法活动,包括无法独自坐立或行走。
