A R to C amino acid substitution (CGA to TGT) has been introduced into exon 30 of the endogenous para gene, in the position equivalent to residue 1648 in the orthologous human SCN1A gene. The R1648C change in the human SCN1A gene is a pathogenic variant associated with Dravet syndrome.

Analogous mutation in human SCN1A implicated in epilepsy, SCN-alpha-related; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
paraR-C/+ individuals exhibit spontaneous seizures at 22[o]C, which become more frequent and longer-lasting at higher temperatures. Upon stimulation trains, at 22[o]C local neurons exhibit sustained depolarizations and poststimulus depolarizations in a minority of mutants, but never in controls; at 30[o]C, almost all local neurons exhibit sustained depolarizations and cessation of action potential firing; in some cases, the depolarizations persist after the current step; firing frequency is increased both at 22[o]C and 30[o]C. There is also occurrence of spontaneous sustained depolarizations at higher temperatures.
