SCN1A and epilepsy: Mutations in the sodium channel SCN1A, probably the most studied and best-documented epilepsy gene, can cause a spectrum of epilepsy syndromes including Dravet syndrome and genetic (generalized) epilepsy with febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+; Brunklaus and Zuberi, 2014), whereas a common variant within an intron of the same gene (rs7587026), was found to associate with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE; Kasperaviciute et al., 2013).
