Welcome to another episode of The Brain Podcast (first for 2023!) - the official podcast for the journal Brain and sister journal Brain Communications. In this episode, three guests joined us to discuss the article entitled: Gene variant effects across sodium channelopathies predict function and guide precision therapy. Professor Andreas Brunklaus (first author) and Professor Stephanie Schorge (senior author) discuss their fascinating data-driven approach to better understand how mutations in sodium channels affect function with potential for precision therapy. We were fortunate to also e joined by Professor Massimo Mantegazza, who provided additional expert opinion. Enjoy this rich, in-depth discussion!
