Premature stop codons in a facilitating EF-hand splice variant of CaV2.1 cause episodic ataxia type 2

Premature stop codons in CACNA1A, which encodes the α1A subunit of neuronal P/Q-type (CaV2.1) Ca2+ channels, cause episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2). CACNA1A undergoes extensive alternative splicing, which contributes to the pharmacological and kinetic heterogeneity of CaV2.1-mediated Ca2+ currents. We i...
