title: Genetics of primary headaches.
abstract: Migraine has become an important topic in the field of complex genetic disorders. The identification of a gene on chromosome 19p encoding for an alpha 1A calcium channel subunit causing familial hemiplegic migraine has led to the classification of migraine as a channelopathy. More recently, efforts have been made to clarify the genetics of other primary headaches.
