Abstract:BackgroundThe GABRA1 gene, encoding the GABRAR subunit α1, plays vital roles in inhibitory neurons. Previously, the GABRA1 gene has been identified to be associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). This study aims to explore the phenotypic spectrum of GABRA1 and molecular subregional effect analysis.MethodsTrios-based whole-exome sequencing was performed in patients with epilepsy. Previously reported GABRA1 mutations were systematically reviewed t… Show more
