Abstract

Introduction ATP1A2 mutations are identified as a genetic cause of type 2 hemiplegic migraine, but to date, no ATP1A2 gene variant has been linked to heart rhythm disorders Case presentation A 37-year-old woman presented with sporadic hemiplegic migraine and multiple supraventricular arrhythmias refractory to medical treatment and electrophysiological interventions. Genetic workup revealed a mutation in the ATP1A2 gene (c.1827 + 10delT) which was not previously described. The co-segregation study supported the causal participation of the variant since it was found in the migrainous sister but not in the non-migrainous father. Conclusions We suggest that the c.1827 + 10delT mutation in the ATP1A2 gene is a novel pathogenic mutation linked to both hemiplegic migraine and supraventricular arrhythmias.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
