CACNA1A activates EA2. 14 / 14
| 14

reach
"EA2 is caused by mutations in CACNA1A, a gene coding for the neuronal voltage gated calcium channel Cav1.1."

reach
"EA2 is caused by mutations in the CACNA1A gene, mapped to chromosome 19p13 [XREF_BIBR], which encodes the alpha-subunit of the P/Q-type voltage gated calcium channel, Ca v 2.1 [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"The authors investigated whether large scale genetic rearrangements in CACNA1A can cause EA2 and FHM1."

reach
"Mutations in a potassium channel gene (KCNA1) located on chromosome 12p13 underlie EA1, and in a voltage dependent calcium channel gene (CACNA1A) located on chromosome 19p13 can lead to EA2."

reach
"EA2 is caused by a wide range of mutations in CACNA1A, localized on chromosome 19p, which encodes the pore forming alpha 1A subunit of the Ca V 2.1 Ca 2+ channel (Ophoff etal."

reach
"CACNA1A and CACNB4 mutations lead to EA2 (MIM 108500) and EA5 (MIM 613855), respectively [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"CACNA1A variants underlie three neurological disorders : familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1), episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) and spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6)."

reach
"To date, eight types of EA have been described; the dominant forms are EA1 (OMIM, 160120) and EA2 (OMIM, 108500), caused by mutations in KCNA1 (OMIM, 176260) and CACNA1A (OMIM, 601011), respectively."

reach
"Dominant mutations in CACNA1A underlie at least three allelic diseases : EA2, familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 and spinocerebellar ataxia type 6."

reach
"EA2 is caused by mutations in CACNA1A."

reach
"Both EA2 and FHM1 are caused by mutations in the CACNA1A gene, which codes for the a1A subunit of the P/Q-type voltage gated calcium channel."

reach
"Molecular genetic tests for episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) usually target only the specific calcium channel gene (CACNA1A) that is known to cause EA2."

reach
"Mutations of KCNA1 and CACNA1A cause episodic ataxia 1 (EA1 : MIM # 160120) and episodic ataxia 2 (EA2 : MIM # 108500), respectively."

reach
"We describe a family with episodic ataxia, clinically indistinguishable from EA2, that was not caused by CACNA1A gene mutation."
