Systematic analysis of three FHM genes in 39 sporadic patients with hemiplegic migraine
3 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial (FHM) and sporadic (SHM) hemiplegic migraine are severe subtypes of migraine associated with transient hemiparesis. For FHM, three genes have been identified encoding subunits of a calcium channel (CACNA1A), a sodium-potassium pump (ATP1A2), and a sodium channel (SCN1A). Their role in SHM is unknown. Establishing a genetic basis for SHM may further the understanding of its pathophysiology and...
