altered expression might influence microcircuitry in the hippocampus, affecting excitability and contributing to epileptogenesis in non-hippocampal sclerosis patients (van Gassen 2009)
Susceptibility to atrial fibrillation
Variant & Polymorphism other A130V mutant SCN3B negated the function of wild type SCN3B, suggesting that A130V acts by a dominant negative mechanism in atrial fibrillation
