Abstract
The genetics of migraine is a fascinating and rapidly 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 or in the chromosome 1 ATP1A2 gene. Familial migraine variants are classified on the basis of clinical, descriptive criteria, but this is insufficient. In the future, a diagnostic classification based on mutation-analysis is needed.Entities:
