Inefficient constitutive inhibition of P2X3 receptors by brain natriuretic peptide system contributes to sensitization of trigeminal sensory neurons in a genetic mouse model of familial hemiplegic migraine [PDF]
Background On trigeminal ganglion neurons, pain-sensing P2X3 receptors are constitutively inhibited by brain natriuretic peptide via its natriuretic peptide receptor-A. This inhibition is associated with increased P2X3 serine phosphorylation and receptor

Enhanced subcortical spreading depression in familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 mutant mice. [PDF]
Familial hemiplegic migraine type 1, a monogenic migraine variant with aura, is linked to gain-of-function mutations in theCACNA1Agene encoding CaV2.1 channels.

Trigeminal sensory neurons of transgenic knock-in (KI) mice expressing the R192Q missense mutation in the α1A subunit of neuronal voltage-gated CaV2.1 Ca2+ channels, which leads to familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1) in patients, exhibit a ...

Familial hemiplegic migraine with cerebellar ataxia and paroxysmal psychosis [PDF]
Familial hemiplegic migraine is a rare autosomal dominant disorder associated with stereotypic neurologic au ra phenomena including hemiparesis, So far two chromosomal loci have been identified. Families linked to the chromosome 19 locus display missense

P/Q-type calcium-channel blockade in the periaqueductal gray facilitates trigeminal nociception: a functional genetic link for migraine? [PDF]
The discovery of mis-sense mutations in the alpha1A subunit of the P/Q-type calcium channel in patients with familial hemiplegic migraine indicates the potential involvement of dysfunctional ion channels in migraine.

New CACNA1A deletions are associated to migraine phenotypes
Background Familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1) is a form of migraine with aura caused by heterozygous mutations in 4 genes: CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SNC1A and PRRT2, but further heterogeneity is expected.

Zebrafish as a Model System for the Study of Severe CaV2.1 (α1A) Channelopathies
The P/Q-type CaV2.1 channel regulates neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) and many central synapses. CACNA1A encodes the pore-containing α1A subunit of CaV2.1 channels.
