## Abstract Hyperekplexia is commonly familial and with dominant transmission. The gene involved, __GLRA1,__ encodes the Ξ±1 subunit of the glycine receptor. We describe 3 affected children homozygous for a new mutation, R100H. Both parents were heterozygous carriers; while the father was healthy, t
