(A) Pedigree of the reported family. Clinically affected members by either migraine and/or infantile seizures are marked with black symbols. The index patient is indicated by an arrow. Individuals where no information was available are marked with a question mark. (B) Chromatograms of the mutation found in the patient (indicated by red arrow, lower row) and a control sequence (upper row). The mutation is the heterozygous insertion of a cytosine at position 649, within a string of nine cytosines leading to a premature stop codon.
