dysfunction in SCN1A is increasingly being linked to neuropsychiatric abnormalities, social deficits and cognitive disabilities
Susceptibility
  • to Rasmussen encephalitis
  • to Dravet syndrome
  • to autism spectrum disorder
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • R1575C mutation identified in a patient with Rasmussen encephalitis
  • putative disease-associated haplotype in two patients affected with Dravet syndrome
  • Candidate gene

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mice with Scn1a haploinsufficiency display hyperactivity, stereotyped behaviors, social interaction deficits, and impaired context-dependent spatial memory
  • Scn1a+/- mice exhibit hyperactivity, increased anxiety, and increased stereotyped behaviors, which are phenocopies of autistic traits in Dravet sdr
