TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ['A mutation in the β(1) subunit of the voltage-gated sodium (Na(V)) channel, β(1) (C121W), causes genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+), a pediatric syndrome in which febrile seizures are the predominant phenotype. Previous studies of molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal hyperexcitability caused by this mutation were conducted at room temperature. The prevalence of seizures during febrile states in patients with GEFS+, however, suggests that the phenotypic consequence of β(1) (C121W) may be exacerbated by elevated temperature. We investigated the putative mechanism underlying seizure generation by the β(1) (C121W) mutation with elevated temperature.', 'Whole-cell voltage clamp experiments were performed at 22 and 34°C using Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells expressing the α subunit of neuronal Na(V) channel isoform, Na(V) 1.2. Voltage-dependent properties were recorded from CHO cells expressing either Na(V) 1.2 alone, Na(V) 1.2 plus wild-type (WT) β(1) subunit, or Na(V) 1.2 plus β(1) (C121W).', 'Our results suggest WT β(1) is protective against increased channel excitability induced by elevated temperature; protection is lost in the absence of WT β(1) or with expression of β(1) (C121W). At 34°C, Na(V) 1.2 + β(1) (C121W) channel excitability increased compared to NaV1.2 + WT β(1) by the following mechanisms: decreased use-dependent inactivation, increased persistent current and window current, and delayed onset of, and accelerated recovery from, fast inactivation.'] Is a thermoprotective role of the sodium channel β1 subunit lost with the β1 ( C121W ) mutation?
OUTPUT:
