ABSTRACT:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a mutant alpha subunit of a mammalian voltage-gated sodium channel, wherein a mutation event selected from the group consisting of point mutations, deletions, insertions and rearrangements has occurred and said mutation event disrupts the functioning of an assembled sodium channel comprising this mutated subunit so as to produce an epilepsy phenotype, polypeptides encoded by said nucleic molecule and uses of these molecules in preparing animal models and in diagnostic applications.
