Sumario:Yiqing Huang,1 Hai Xiao,1 Xingyue Qin,1 Yuan Nong,1 Donghua Zou,2 Yuan Wu3 1Department of Neurology, Guigang City People’s Hospital and the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Guigang, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Neurology, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University and the First People’s Hospital of Nanning, Nanning, People’s Republic of China; 3Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, People’s Republic of China Abstract: Epilepsy and migraine are common diseases of the nervous system and share genetic and pathophysiological mechanisms. Familial hemiplegic migraine is an autosomal dominant disease. It is often used as a model of migraine. Four genes often contain one or more mutations in both epilepsy and hemiplegic migraine patients (ie, CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SCN1A, and PRRT2). A better understanding of the shared genetics of epilepsy and hemiplegic migraine may reveal new strategic directions for research and treatment of both the disorders.
