SCN1A had also been shown to carry haploinsufficient dominant null alleles in the severe seizure syndrome SMEI/Dravet syndrome (reviewed in Ma and Gargus, 2007), as well as missense alleles in the migraine syndrome familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM3; Dichgans et al., 2005; Gargus and Tournay, 2007). Here, SCN1A is linked to Dravet syndrome.
