Disease relevance of SCN1B

 

High impact information on SCN1B

  • We now report linkage, in another large GEFS+ family, to chromosome region 19q13.1 and identification of a mutation in the voltage-gated sodium (Na+)-channel beta1 subunit gene (SCN1B) [1].
  • Three novel SCN1A mutations-D188V, V1353L, and I1656M-were found in 36 familial cases; of the remaining 33 families, 3 had mutations in SCN1B [5].
  • Linkage analysis has excluded both the beta 1 subunit gene (SCN1B) of a voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channel responsible for GEFS+ and the two loci, FEB1 and FEB2, previously implicated in febrile seizures [6].
  • Study of the voltage-gated sodium channel beta 1 subunit gene (SCN1B) in the benign familial infantile convulsions syndrome (BFIC) [7].
  • The sodium channel beta1 subunit gene (SCN1B) maps to this candidate region and has been shown to be involved in one Australian pedigree with generalized epilepsy and febrile seizures "plus" (GEFS +) [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SCN1B

  • To help explore this further, we have carried out an analysis of the detailed structure of the human beta 1 subunit gene (SCN1B) including the delineation of intron-exon boundaries by genomic DNA cloning and sequence analysis [14].
  • Using a 15.9-kb genomic SCN1B clone, we assigned the gene to the long arm of chromosome 19 (19q13.1-q13.2) by fluorescence in situ hybridization [14].
  • Using RT-PCR, we detected transcripts of seven Na(+) channel alpha genes (SCN2A, 3A, 4A, 7A, 8A, 9A, and 11A), and two beta subunit genes (SCN1B and 2B) [15].
