Genetic variants in the GRIN genes that encode N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunits have been identified in various neurodevelopmental disorders, including epilepsy. We identified a GRIN1 variant from an individual with early‐onset epileptic encephalopathy, evaluated functional changes to NMDAR properties caused by the variant, and screened FDA‐approved therapeutic compounds as potential treatments for the patient.
