SLC1A3 and episodic ataxia type 6: Two homologous mutations, which predict substitutions of prolines in the center of the fifth transmembrane helix by arginine (P289R EAAT2, P290R EAAT1), have been identified in patients with epileptic encephalopathy (SLC1A2) or with episodic ataxia type 6 (SLC1A3).
