Abstract excerpt
Hemiplegic migraine (HM) is a rare migraine disorder with aura subtype including temporary weakness and visual, sensory, and/or speech symptoms. To date, three main genes-CACNA1A, ATP1A2, and SCN1A-have been found to cause HM. These encode ion channels or transporters, important for regulating neuronal ion balance and synaptic transmission, leading to HM being described as a channelopathy. However, <20% of HM...
