Key result
Epilepsy-related KCNA1 variants cluster in the S1/S2 transmembrane domains and pore region of Kv1.1, whereas EA1-associated variants occur along the whole length of the protein.
Why the study?
KCNA1 mutations cause diverse diseases and complicate genotype-phenotype correlations, and why these variants cause such phenotypic heterogeneity is not yet understood.

Epilepsy-associated KCNA1 mutations cluster in specific domains (S1/S2 and pore region) compared to EA1-associated variants, providing insights for diagnostic risk assessment.
Paulhus et al. (2020) conducted a review in KCNA1 channelopathy (episodic ataxia type 1 and epilepsy). KCNA1 mutations was evaluated on Genotype-phenotype correlation. Epilepsy-related KCNA1 variants cluster in the S1/S2 transmembrane domains and pore region of Kv1.1, whereas EA1-associated variants occur along the whole length of the protein.
