Abstract excerpt
The CACNA1A gene codes for the alpha(1A) pore-forming subunit of Ca(2+) voltage-gated Cav2.1 channels. CACNA1A mutations are responsible for Familial Hemiplegic Migraine (FHM) type 1, Episodic Ataxia (EA) type 2 and Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 6. The structure of the human gene includes, at prese...
