Why are scn1a mutations commonly found in patients with alleged post-vaccination encephalopathy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dravet Syndrome & : Related scn1a mutations are genetic, not vaccine-induced. Fever from any cause can trigger seizures. . Genetic mutations are passed on or occur by accident when the germ cells ( egg & sperm) divide & 1/2 of the germ cell's chromosomes from each parent combine for the the genetic make-up of the child. See http://www.Omim.Org/entry/182389?Search=scn1a%20expression&highlight=expression%20scn1a.

Sodium channel: Kids born carrying this mutation are at some increased risk for seizures after immunization. If my kid had this, I would still insist they be immunized.
