Genetic Variant in Nicotinic Receptor α4-Subunit Causes Sleep-Related Hyperkinetic Epilepsy via Increased Channel Opening

Genetic Variant in Nicotinic Receptor α4-Subunit Causes Sleep-Related Hyperkinetic Epilepsy via Increased Channel Opening

We describe genetic and molecular-level functional alterations in the α4β2 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) from a patient with sleep-related hyperkinetic epilepsy and a family history of epilepsy. Genetic sequencing revealed a heterozygous variant c.851C>G in the <i>CHRNA4...
