Popis: | Most genetically determined epilepsies are caused by gene mutations in genes that encode for ion channels and receptors. Functional analysis of these protein mutants shows changes in voltage dependency and/or kinetics or a complete loss of channel function via different mechanisms. Nevertheless, the severity of the epileptic seizures is not only determined by a specific gene mutation, but genetic background, modifying genes and genetic compensatory factors are playing a crucial role in the phenotypic outcome of patients. |
