A Rare KIF1A Missense Mutation Enhances Synaptic Function and Increases Seizure Activity
Although genetic factors are considered a main etiology of epilepsy, the causes of genetic epilepsy in the majority of epilepsy patients remain unknown. Kinesin family member 1A (KIF1A), a neuron-specific motor protein that moves along with microtubules, is responsible for the transport of membranou...
