Current status of genetic discoveries in migraine: familial hemiplegic migraine and beyond.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) has been related to mutations in a brain calcium channel gene among Chr19p linked FHM families. Subsequent genetic Studies in different FHM families showed that additional causative genes must reside in other regions of the genome, including the long arm of Chromosome 1. Parallel discoveries in mouse mutants involving ion channel genes have also accelerated our understanding of...
