Who has to undergo cancer genetic testing? A perspective

2017

Genetic testing is a medical tool employed to screen changes in genes linked to cancer and other genetic diseases.

Novel missense mutation in the ATP1A2 gene associated with atypical sporapedic hemiplegic migraine

2019

Hemiplegic migraine (HM) is a rare subtype of migraine with aura in which attacks include transient motor weakness or hemiparesis that can last several days. HM is linked to mutations in three different genes, CACNA1A, ATP1A2 and SCN1A, which encode for ion transporters. The clinical spectrum includes atypical symptoms such as impaired consciousness, epileptic seizures, permanent cerebellar ataxia or mental retardation. We describe a novel mutation found in the ATP1A2 gene in a patient with late-onset HM. His attacks were characterised by motor weakness associated with altered mental status, diplopia and ataxia. He also showed up MRI abnormalities and incomplete response to prophylactic the…
