Migraine: Familial migraine with aura is associated with a mutation in the TRESK potassium channel.

The article discusses research study on the association between TRESK potassium channel and familial migraine with aura. It references a study by Zameel Cader and colleagues, published in "Nature Medicine." Study authors analyzed 150 ion channel genes in 360 unrelated individuals, including 110 patients with migraine. They concluded that a mutation in TRESK potassium channel could be a cause of hereditary migraine with aura.
