Variable clinical expression of mutations in the P/Q-type calcium channel gene in familial hemiplegic migraine

It is concluded that the I1811L mutation causes both FHM and cerebellar ataxia independent of the number of CAG repeats, supporting the hypothesis that FHM is part of the migraine spectrum.

Involvement of a Ca 2+ Channel Gene in Familial Hemiplegic Migraine and Migraine With and Without Aura

The association between the α1A calcium channel and familial hemiplegic migraine, and the increase of shared alleles in migraine‐affected sib‐pairs, have uncovered a new pathway for the pathophysiology of migraine.

Japanese cases of familial hemiplegic migraine with cerebellar ataxia carrying a T666M mutation in the CACNA1A gene

The data suggest that mutations in the CACNA1A gene, encoding a P/Q-type calcium channel α1A subunit, are responsible for recurrent episodes of attacks of cerebellar ataxia accompanied by interictal nystagmus in FHM with progressive Cerebellar Ataxia (FHM/PCA).

Phenotypes of spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 and familial hemiplegic migraine caused by a unique CACNA1A missense mutation in patients from a large family.

The disease-causing mutation in this family was identified, showing that a unique mutation in the CACNA1A gene causes several phenotypes, including those of SCA 6 and FHM, thus suggesting that SCA6 and F HM are not only allelic diseases but are the same disorder with a large phenotypic variability.

Recurrence of the T666M calcium channel CACNA1A gene mutation in familial hemiplegic migraine with progressive cerebellar ataxia.

Haplotyping with neighboring markers suggested that T666M arose through recurrent mutational events and could indicate that the PCA observed in 20% of HM families results from specific pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Detection of a novel missense mutation and second recurrent mutation in the CACNA1A gene in individuals with EA-2 and FHM.

A novel missense mutation, G5260A, in exon 32 in a family segregating for EA-2 is characterised, which represents the first point mutation not resulting in a proposed truncated protein.

Detection of a novel missense mutation and second recurrent mutation in the CACNA1A gene in individuals with EA-2 and FHM

A novel missense mutation, G5260A, in exon 32 in a family segregating for EA-2 is characterised, which represents the first point mutation not resulting in a proposed truncated protein.

A 3-Mb Region for the Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Locus on 19p13.1–p13.2: Exclusion of PRKCSH as a Candidate Gene

The PRKCSH gene can be excluded for both FHM and EA-2, because no potential disease causing mutation was found and therefore the PRK CSH gene was excluded.

Genetic heterogeneity of familial hemiplegic migraine.

Results confirm the localization of a gene for familial hemiplegic migraine to the short arm of chromosome 19, but locus heterogeneity not corresponding to the observed clinical heterogeneity is likely to exist.

Familial periodic cerebellar ataxia without myokymia maps to a 19-cM region on 19p13.

Linkage analysis in two large families with FPCA/-M that also demonstrated neurodegenerative pathology of the cerebellum is performed, and a CAG trinucleotide-repeat expansion was detected in one family but did not cosegregate with the disease.

Genetic heterogeneity of familial hemiplegic migraine.

Two-point and multipoint lod score analyses as well as HOMOG testing provided strong evidence for genetic heterogeneity of FHM and it was established that the most likely location of the gene was within an interval of 12 cM between D 19S413 and D19S226.

Episodic ataxia/myokymia syndrome is associated with point mutations in the human potassium channel gene, KCNA1

Mutation analysis of the KCNA1 coding region in families identified four different missense point mutations present in the heterozygous state, indicating that EA/myokymia can result from mutations in this gene.

A gene for familial hemiplegic migraine maps to chromosome 19

Multilocus linkage analysis suggested that the loci responsible for the two diseases reside within an interval of about 30 cM on chromosome 19.

Familial Hemiplegic Migraine: A Clinical Comparison of Families Linked and Unlinked to Chromosome 19

FHM linked to chromosomes 19 and FHM unlinked to chromosome 19 do not differ with respect to clinical features and in one linked family patients also displayed chronic progressive cerebellar ataxia, whereas in one unlinked family benign infantile convulsions occurred in addition to FHM.

Familial hemiplegic migraine, nystagmus, and cerebellar atrophy

It is suggested that the hemiplegic migraine attacks and the cerebellar degeneration are linked genetically and that the eye movements are not the ischemic sequelae of recurrent migraine.

A calcium channel mutation causing hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

The results indicate that the DHP-receptor alpha 1-subunit mutation causes HypoPP, and an altered excitation-contraction coupling may explain the occurrence of muscle weakness.

Expansion of an unstable trinucleotide CAG repeat in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1

There is a direct correlation between the size of the (CAG)n repeat expansion and the age–of–onset of SCA1, with larger alleles occurring in juvenile cases.
