Epilepsy-Related Slack Channel Mutants Lead to Channel Over-Activity by Two Different Mechanisms

Twelve sodium-activated potassium channel (KCNT1, Slack) genetic mutants have been identified from severe early-onset epilepsy patients. The changes in biophysical properties of these mutants and the underlying mechanisms causing disease remain elusive. Here, we report that seven of the 12 mutations...
