PRRT2 mutations are the major cause of PKD or ICCA, but they do not seem to be involved in the etiology of febrile convulsions and migraine. The identification of PRRT2 as a major gene for the PKD-ICCA-BFIC spectrum allows better disease classification, molecular confirmation of the clinical diagnosis, and genetic testing and counseling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
