Gene therapy with doxycycline-controlled expression of human Kv1.1 reduces neuronal excitability and increases sociability of Scn2a -deficient mice

Genetic loss-of-function (LoF) variants in SCN2A, a gene encoding the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.2, have been identified as one of the foremost monogenic causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD encompasses a broad spectrum of behavioral phenotypes, with impaired sociability as a core characteristic. We hav...
