A new CACNA1A gene mutation in acetazolamide-responsive familial hemiplegic migraine and ataxia
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To search for mutations in the calcium channel gene CACNA1A and to study the genotype-phenotype correlation in a family with a severe familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) phenotype and a slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia. BACKGROUND: CACNA1A gene mutations on chromosome 19 are involved in approximately 50% of FHM families. The association of FHM and cerebellar ataxia has been reported in a small...
