Pathogenic
CACNA1A
gene variants are associated with a spectrum of disorders including migraine with or without hemiplegia, ataxia, epilepsy, and developmental disability. We present a case of a pathogenic variant (c.4046G>A, p.R1349Q) in the
CACNA1A
gene associated with a clinical phenotype of global developmental delay, left hemiparesis, epilepsy, and stroke-like episodes. Longitudinal neuroimaging demonstrates hemispheric encephalomalacia with mismatched perfusion and angiographic imaging, in addition to progressive cerebellar atrophy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
