Biochemical and imaging analysis of GABAA receptor subunit expression in the mouse model. The study evaluated expression levels of α1, β2, and γ2 subunits across various brain regions to understand the molecular consequences of haploinsufficiency. Reduced expression of these subunits was observed, providing mechanistic insight into the epilepsy phenotype.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
GABAA receptor subunit expression levels
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Reduced GABAA receptor subunit expression
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Demonstrable reduction in receptor expression
