SCN1A Articles & Research
Did you know
242 out of 333 (73%) patients with Dravet Syndrome where found to have SCN1A mutations or deletions, 228 patients were found to have point deletions and of those 161 had mutations that where not previously reported. (26 September 2008) fact from
So to clarify - Not all Dravet Syndrome patients will have a SCN1A mutation
SCN1A mutations can also be found in conditions other then Dravet Syndrome (I.e. GEFS+)
