Neurodevelopment, Seizure & Ion Channels
How your genes set neuronal excitability, GABA/glutamate balance, and cardiac rhythm.
This report may be useful if you experience any of these symptoms:
Your brain runs on electricity. Neurons fire by opening and closing tiny ion-channel gates that let sodium, potassium, and calcium flow in and out - and the way GABA (the brain's brake) and glutamate (the gas pedal) balance against each other sets how excitable everything is. The genes in this report build all of those parts. When they carry variants, the brain can become too excitable (seizures, anxiety, panic, migraine, sensory hypersensitivity, fragmented sleep) or not excitable enough (developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism-spectrum traits). Some variants also affect heart rhythm and muscle, because the same channels operate there too.
- Seizures of any type (absence, focal, generalized, myoclonic)
- Febrile seizures, especially recurrent or prolonged
- Developmental delay or intellectual disability
- Autism-spectrum features or language delay
- Anxiety, panic, exaggerated startle
- Migraine with aura, hemiplegic, or vestibular
- Sensory hypersensitivity to light, sound, touch
- Fragmented, non-restorative sleep
- Vivid or disturbing dreams
- POTS, dysautonomia, temperature dysregulation
- Long QT, short QT, or unexplained syncope
- Family history of sudden cardiac death
- Bad anesthesia reactions in you or family
- Sensorineural hearing loss or tinnitus
- Paradoxical reactions to benzodiazepines or alcohol
- OCD, repetitive behaviors, tic disorders
- Muscle stiffness or exercise-induced cramps
- Periodic muscle weakness or paralysis
- Migraine triggered by hormones or glutamate foods
- Stuttering, dyscoordination, motor delays
- Mood swings or a bipolar-pattern picture
- Sensitivity to MSG, aged cheese, aspartame
- Sensitivity to QT-prolonging medications
- Family history of epilepsy or unexplained encephalopathy
Worth knowing: Unexplained syncope, new seizures, abnormal anesthesia reactions, and a family history of sudden cardiac death or sudden infant death require urgent medical evaluation. This questionnaire is not a substitute for cardiology, neurology, or genetics care.

This report is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. It does not diagnose epilepsy, long QT, Brugada syndrome, malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, or any other condition. New or unexplained seizures, syncope, abnormal anesthesia reactions, or family history of sudden cardiac death require urgent evaluation by a physician.
