β¦ Synopsis
The recent article by Montfort et al. [2004] reported a functional analysis of 13 glucocerebrosidase alleles, including mutation N188S, which they considered to be a "very mild mutation" or "modifier variant." Our clinical experience with patients carrying this mutation and preliminary protein modeling data lead us to dispute this conclusion.

De novo mutations in the SCN1A gene, encoding the alpha1-subunit of the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.1, are the most frequent genetic cause of Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infancy known so far. A few mutations inherited from an asymptomatic or mildly affected parent have been reported,
Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a severe subtype of migraine with hemiparesis during attacks. We scanned 10 families with FHM without mutations in the CACNA1A (FHM1) and ATP1A2 (FHM2) genes. We identified the novel p.L1649Q mutation (c.4946T>A) in Na(v)1.1 sodium channel gene SCN1A (FHM3) in a
