While the role of the GBX1 gene in the development of the human nervous system remains to be elucidated, its variant in humans has not previously been reported to be associated with disease."},{"@attributes":{"Label":"METHODS","NlmCategory":"METHODS"},"@text":"The patient presenting with sleep panic attacks underwent comprehensive clinical assessments, including electroencephalograph (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and genetic testing through whole exome sequencing (WES).

WES revealed a de novo GBX1 gene variant [NM_001098834.3: c.910C>T (p.Gln304*)]. In zebrafish larvae with gbx1 gene disruption, significant abnormalities were observed in the morphology of the interocular area. Furthermore, these larvae exhibited an increased susceptibility to neurophysiological abnormalities associated with epileptiform activity."},{"@attributes":{"Label":"CONCLUSION","NlmCategory":"CONCLUSIONS"},"@text":"Our study is the first to identify an association between the GBX1 gene variant and focal epilepsy.
