摘要
The genetics of migraine is a fascinating and moving research area. Familial hemiplegic migraine, a rare subtype of migraine with a Mendelian pattern of inheritance, is caused by mutations in the chromosome 19 CACNA1A gene in approximately 75% of the families. The finding of mutations in an ionchannel subunit defines migraine as a channelopathy (eg, epilepsy). The genetics of the more frequent variants, migraine with and without aura, is more complex. Several loci have been studied in families and case-control studies, but need to be confirmed. Copyright © 2003 by Current Science Inc.
