Familial Hemiplegic Migraine and Episodic Ataxia Type-2 Are Caused by Mutations in the Ca2+ Channel Gene CACNL1A4

TL;DR: A brain-specific P/Q-type Ca2+ channel alpha1-subunit gene, CACNL1A4, covering 300 kb with 47 exons is characterized, revealing polymorphic variations, including a (CA)n-repeat (D19S1150), a (CAG) n-repeat in the 3'-UTR, and different types of deleterious mutations in FHM and EA-2.

TL;DR: For example, the authors identified 44 independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with migraine risk (P < 5 × 10−8) that mapped to 38 distinct genomic loci, including 28 loci not previously reported and a locus that to date is the first to be identified on chromosome X.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of headache in Europe

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that headache disorders are extremely prevalent and have a vast impact on public health, and the data collected should be used as arguments to increase resources to headache research and care for headache patients all over the continent.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-terminal truncations in human 3′-5′ DNA exonuclease TREX1 cause autosomal dominant retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy

TL;DR: Heterozygous C-terminal frameshift mutations in TREX1 retain exonuclease activity but lose normal perinuclear localization, which has implications for the maintenance of vascular integrity in the degenerative cerebral microangiopathies leading to stroke and dementias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel mutations in the Na+, K+-ATPase pump gene ATP1A2 associated with familial hemiplegic migraine and benign familial infantile convulsions.

TL;DR: Novel missense mutations in the ATP1A2 Na+,K+‐ATPase pump gene on chromosome 1q23 in two families with FHM are described, which involve dysfunction of ion transportation and epilepsy is part of its phenotypic spectrum.
