Abstract excerpt
Some individuals appear more susceptible to concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and the severity, range, and the persistence of post-concussion symptoms vary considerably between affected individuals. Genetic factors are likely to contribute to this variability. Symptomatic overlap of post-concussion syndrome with neurological conditions such as familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) caused by rare...
