Phenotypic analysis of catastrophic childhood epilepsy genes

Griffin et al used CRISPR-Cas9 to generate 40 single-gene mutant zebrafish lines representing childhood epilepsies for which they evaluated larval phenotypes using electrophysiological, behavioral, neuro-anatomical, survival and pharmacological assays. Their study provides a useful resource for the...

Description
Summary:Griffin et al used CRISPR-Cas9 to generate 40 single-gene mutant zebrafish lines representing childhood epilepsies for which they evaluated larval phenotypes using electrophysiological, behavioral, neuro-anatomical, survival and pharmacological assays. Their study provides a useful resource for the future functional analysis and/or identification of potential anti-epileptic therapies.
