Exploratory Score: 0.850 Price: $0.50 epilepsy Gabra1+/-/Gabrg2+/- mice Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting Gabra1, Gabrg2, Gabrb2 in Gabra1+/-/Gabrg2+/- mice. Primary outcome: GABAA receptor subunit expression levels

Description

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.
