Abstract Objective SCN2A pathogenic mutations, such as the recurrent heterozygous Nav1.2‐L1342P, are monogenic causes of epilepsy. In this human‐induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model system, we aim to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SCN2A‐L1342P‐associated pathology. Methods Using a human male induced pluripotent stem
