Among them, SCN1A, SCN2A, SCN3A, and SCN8A are primarily expressed in the central nervous system. The encoded proteins Nav1.1, Nav1.2, Nav1.3, and Nav1.6, respectively, are important players in the initiation and propagation of action potentials and in turn of the neural network activity. In the context of neurological diseases, mutations in the genes encoding Nav1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.6 are responsible for many forms of genetic epilepsy and for Nav1.1 also of hemiplegic migraine. Several pharmacological therapeutic approaches targeting these channels are used or are under study. Mutations of genes encoding VGSCs are also involved in autism and in different types of even severe intellectual disability (ID). It is conceivable that in these conditions their dysfunction could indirectly cause a certain level of neurodegenerative processes; however, so far, these mechanisms have not been deeply investigated. Conversely, VGSCs seem to have a modulatory role in the most common neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s, where SCN8A expression has been shown to be negatively correlated with disease severity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life13051191","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,16]],"date-time":"2023-05-16T02:20:13Z","timestamp":1684203613000},"page":"1191","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Dysfunctions in Neurological Disorders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Raffaella","family":"Barbieri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biophysics, Via de Marini 6, 16149 Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Nizzari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biophysics, Via de Marini 6, 16149 Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilaria","family":"Zanardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biophysics, Via de Marini 6, 16149 Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8644-8847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Pusch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biophysics, Via de Marini 6, 16149 Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2016-4702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paola","family":"Gavazzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biophysics, Via de Marini 6, 16149 Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"411","DOI":"10.1124\/pr.57.4.5","article-title":"International Union of Pharmacology.
