摘要: Gain-of-function missense mutations of SCN9A gene, which encodes voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, alter channel's biophysical properties causing painful disorders are refractory to pharmacotherapy in the vast majority patients. Here we report a novel mutation (ca.T3947C) exon 20 9 year old patient, not present 200 ethnically-matched control alleles; substitutes invariant valine 1316 residue within DIII/S5 by alanine (V1316A). Voltage-clamp studies show that Nav1.7 V1316A hyperpolarizes activation (-9 mV), and enhances response ramp stimuli (3-fold), changes predicted cause hyperexcitability DRG neurons. also steady-state slow-inactivation (-9.9 is attenuate effect this on neuron firing. These consistent with previously characterized Erytheromelalgia associated Nav1.7.
