Why the study?
Gain of function variants in the sodium-activated potassium channel KCNT1 have been associated with pediatric epilepsy disorders, warranting systematic examination of their impact on channel function across multiple cellular systems.
Pathogenic KCNT1 variants associated with pediatric epilepsy predominantly cause gain of function effects on channel properties.
