SLC32A1 was previously considered a candidate gene for human hyperekplexia, but eight missense variants in SLC32A1 have recently been reported in families with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus or idiopathic generalized epilepsy (Heron and others 2021), making it unlikely that mutations in SLC32A1 are associated with SD. The gene discussed is SLC32A1; the disease is hyperekplexia.
