Human Hyperekplexic Mutations in Glycine Receptors Disinhibit the Brainstem by Hijacking GABAA Receptors

Summary: Hyperekplexia disease is usually caused by naturally occurring point mutations in glycine receptors (GlyRs). However, the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) seems to be also involved regarding the therapeutic basis for hyperekplexia using benzodiazepines, which target GABAARs but...
