Abstract excerpt
Human mutations in the CACNA1A gene that encodes the pore-forming α1A subunit of the voltage-gated CaV2.1 (P/Q-type) Ca2+ channel cause multiple neurological disorders including sporadic and familial hemiplegic migraine, as well as cerebellar pathologies such as episodic ataxia, progressive ataxia, and early-onset cerebellar syndrome consistent with the definition of congenital ataxia (CA), with presentation...
