Hi,

By developmental delay did you mean cognitive impairment or any type of delay?
For example my son was delayed in speech and social skills, and motor skills on
the right where he has baseline weakness and then the intermittent hemiplegia,
but once he could talk we could see there is no cognitive delay.

I was reading last night there some studies about possible genetic crossover
between ACH and familial migraine.

Thanks for your response.
