Background Information

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABAA receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. GABAA receptors are formed by pentameric assembly of 19 different subunit subtypes (α1-α6, β1-β3, γ1-γ3, δ, ɛ, π, θ and ρ1-ρ3) (PMID: 21930603). The mutation R46W of GABRA6 is associated with the pathogenesis of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) (PMID: 21930603).
