Fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs) regulate the activity of several different voltage-gated sodium channels (Nas). However, more work is needed to determine how specific FHF isoforms and variants affect the properties of different Na isoforms. In addition, it is not known if FHFs can differentially modulate the properties of Na variants associated with disease.

Background: Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy associated with loss-of-function variants in the SCN1A gene. Although predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, SCN1A is also expressed in the heart, suggesting a potential link between neuronal and cardiac channelopathies. Additionally, DS carries a high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
