Zusammenfassung: "KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 encode subunits (KV7.2, KV7.3) that combine to form a voltagegated potassium ion (K ) channel responsible for generating an ionic current (M-current) important for controlling activity in the nervous system. Pathogenic variants in both genes are associated with a spectrum of genetic neurological disorders that feature epilepsy of variable severity and can be accompanied by debilitating impaired neurodevelopment. These two genes were among the first discovered causes of monogenic epilepsy, and are frequently identified in persons with early-life epilepsy. This Element provides a comprehensive review of the clinical features, genetic basis, pathophysiology, pharmacology and treatment of these prototypical neurological disorders accompanied by perspectives shared by affected families and scientists who have made seminal contributions to the field"--PPN: PPN: 1916240623Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
