SV2A and photosensitive epilepsy: Of interest, in a chicken model of photosensitive epilepsy, a genetic animal model where the neurological disorder is inherited as an autosomal recessive mutation, a mutation in SV2A, the gene‐encoding synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), was found that causes an aberrant splicing event, significantly reducing the level of SV2A messenger RNA (mRNA) in homozygous carriers.49
