perekplexia and pain SAF2011 - 28674 PI: Beatriz López Corcuera 2012-2014;

Francisco Gmez 2012-2014) both directly related to the objectives and lines of
rare diseases. We have concluded a four-year project funded by the Community of
Madrid, and coordinated by Cecilio Giménez) .
Two years ago we started with the U753 group led by Dr Paul Lapunzina and the
Association of Patients with Dravet a genetic screening program and study of Dra-
vet patients by biochemical , electrophysiological and molecular and cell biology
techniques. So far more than 450 mutations have been found in a cohort of Spa-
nish and non-Spanish patients, that we have grouped by topological location in the
protein, and 12 of them are being studying in detail. The results are advanced, are
very interesting and innovative and will publish shortly.
Results published in 2013 are related to the regulation of the neuronal glycine
transporter GlyT2 a protein which is susceptible to mutations responsible for hy-
perekplexia (in 2012 we described a new mutation causing hyperekplexia ) a rare
disease. Until now, we have detected 80 cases of hiperekplexia with the Group
13
U753 and two UK groups (Drs. Harvey and Rees ) . Other publications appear in 20
T
2013 are related with glutamatergic neurotransmission and schizophrenia.
