基因产物：P/Q型钙通道α1A亚基。

蛋白功能：主要在神经组织中表达，参与电压敏感型钙离子通道的组成，引起P/Q型钙电流。

相关疾病：发育性癫痫性脑病42型（部分可表现为 Lennox-Gastaut综合征 ）（AD）[1，8]；发作性共济失调（AD）[2]；家族性偏瘫型偏头痛（AD）[3]；家族性偏瘫型偏头痛伴进行性小脑共济失调（AD）[4]；脊髓小脑型共济失调（AD）[5]；遗传性癫痫伴失神发作（易感基因）[6]； 青少年失神癫痫 [7]。

相关临床研究：PubMed数据库（PMID: 31468518 (Epilepsia. 2019) ; PMID: 27212419 (Pediatr Neurol. 2016) ）用药提醒： 拉莫三嗪 （同时有P/Q型钙通道阻滞的效果）可能对该基因突变所致的发育性癫痫性脑病有效（仅个例报道，只供参考，且该篇报道所对应的CACNA1A突变理论上讲属于功能增强型的突变可能性大，实际上不管是功能减弱型或功能增强型CACNA1A突变均可导致发育性癫痫性脑病，两者用药上可能会存在差异）[7, 8]。
