A1A2 Na+/K+-ATPase mutations cause familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2). The authors identified three putative A1A2 mutations (D718N, R763H, P979L) and three that await validation (P796R, E902K, X1021R). Ten to 20% of FHM cases may be FHM2. A1A2 mutations have a penetrance of about 87%. D718N causes frequent, long-lasting HM, and P979L may cause recurrent coma. D718N and P979L may predispose to seizures and...
