altered expression might influence microcircuitry in the hippocampus, affecting excitability and contributing to epileptogenesis in non-hippocampal sclerosis patients (van Gassen 2009) | |

to atrial fibrillation |
Variant & Polymorphism

| A130V mutant SCN3B negated the function of wild type SCN3B, suggesting that A130V acts by a dominant negative mechanism in atrial fibrillation |
