Dravet syndrome (DS)or myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (MEI) is a rare, genetic epileptic encephalopathy which is linked to de novo loss of function mutations of the SCNA1 gene encoding for the α subunit of Nav1.1 voltage-dependent sodium channels (Claes et al., 2001). This evidence concerns the gene SCN1A and myoclonic epilepsy in infancy.
