A wide clinical phenotype spectrum in patients with ATP1A2 mutations.

ABSTRACT

The clinical spectrum associated with ATP1A2 mutations is expanding and includes familial hemiplegic migraine, alternating hemiplegia of childhood, and epilepsy. We have identified a novel c.1766T>C. (Ile589Thr) heterozygous mutation in the ATP1A2 gene in a Saudi kindred with hemiplegic attacks and seizures. Our findings broaden the phenotypic spectrum of patients with ATP1A2 mutations.
