Hemiplegic Migraine Associated With <i>PRRT2</i> Variations

Abstract

<i>PRRT2</i> should be regarded as the fourth autosomal dominant gene for hemiplegic migraine and screened in any affected patient, together with the 3 other main genes. Further studies are needed to understand how the same loss-of-function <i>PRRT2</i> variations can lead to a wide range of neurologic phenotypes, including paroxysmal movement disorder, epilepsy, learning disabilities, sleep disorder, and hemiplegic migraine.
