Introduction of GABRA6
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, acting through GABAA receptors—ligand-gated chloride channels. These receptors, comprising at least 16 subunits, are crucial targets for many drugs like benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and ethanol. Specifically, the alpha 6 subunit of the GABAA receptor (GABRA6) is increasingly recognized as a potential biomarker for neuronal toxicity, offering vital diagnostic and research implications.

Prior research links the T1521C variant in the GABRA6 gene to specific personality characteristics and reduced physiological responses to stress. Additionally, the GABRA6 mutation, R46W, has been identified as a susceptibility gene for childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). This CAE-associated mutation is theorized to cause neuronal disinhibition, increasing susceptibility to generalized seizures by reducing αβγ and αβδ receptor function and expression.
