Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a group of genetic migraine, associated with hemiparesis and aura. Three causative different genes have been identified, all of which are involved in membrane ion transport. Among these, SCN1A encodes the voltage-gated Na+ channel Nav1.1, and FHM caused by mutations of SCN1A is named FHM3. For 7 of the 12 known FHM3-causing SCNA1 mutations functional consequences...
