Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) characterized by seizures and developmental delay/regression, primarily caused by loss-of-function (LoF) variants in the
SCN1A
gene, which encodes the Nav1.1 sodium channel. Hyperexcitability in DS results from impaired inhibitory int...

BACKGROUND
Approximately 10% of patients with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) phenotype lack a known genetic cause. In particular, the molecular basis of thymic defects is poorly understood. Homeobox (HOX) genes encode conserved transcription factors that control spatial body development. The function of human...

The observations suggest that the consequences of NaV dysfunction are not only determined by their role in neuronal excitability but also depend on subtype-specific responses to inflammatory cues, shedding light on the relevance of inflammatory events in the onset and progression of epileptic syndromes related to NaV l...
