Two South Indian children with KCNT1-related malignant migrating focal seizures of infancy – Clinical characteristics and outcome of targeted treatment with quinidine
KCNT1 gene encodes a sodium-gated potassium channel subunit that plays an important role in regulating excitability in neurons. Quinidine is a partial antagonist of this channel. We report the clinical characteristics of two south Indian children with KCNT1-related epileptic encephalopathy. Both of...
