Inhibitory synapse deficits caused by familial α1 GABAA receptor mutations in epilepsy

Epilepsy is a spectrum of neurological disorders with many causal factors. The GABA type-A receptor (GABAAR) is a major genetic target for heritable human epilepsies. Here we examine the functional effects of three epilepsy-causing mutations to the α1 subunit (α1T10’I, α1D192N and α1A295D) on inhibi...
