CH Gene found in Italy?!?

So, once in a while I go to the Italian OUCH web site to see how things are going on that side of the planet. Their web site is:
http://www.grappolaiuto.it/
In one of the forums today I see an article published by La Stampa, a recognized magazine, which states that Dr. Lorenzo Pinessi, director of the Neurology Dept of teh Headache Center of Molinette, discovered that the gene that causes CH is one called Hcrtr2. Here is a link for those who read italian:
Link to thread:

Link to the actual article:
http://www.lavetraia.com/Zaira/articologene.gif
It also states that this has been published in the US magazine called Neurology.
Has anyone heard of this news?

Hcrtr2 is not THE gene that causes CH, it is one gene that increases the risk. It is possible to have CH without that gene, and not everyone with that gene gets CH. But it is good to know which genes are linked to increased risk, because that helps us figure out the puzzle.

Australian scientiests this week found the gene involved in migraine. They expect to know much more about it within a year or so and suggest it may well even lead to a 'cure' within five years.

This is exciting news! Wouldn't it be wonderful if medical science could prove this, and somehow find a way to eliminate the gene, or neutralize it. I'm gonna send prayers and vibes to those docs!!!!

We'll forward your request to the medical community and see how they respond. I thought the limit was 4 F-bombs per sentence, but you've clearly raised the bar to 6, even punctuating the last one with the exclamation point. Wording it the way you have I'm certain the medical community will understand in a more clear fashion why they should get on with finding a "cure" for us.

For a noble cause of course.

Scott... LMAO!
I apologize for my regular punkrock moments...
When my head is sore I have a very short fuse and go in my "fuckin" rampage... or occasionally blame the F***ing Post Office for all the miseries of the world....
But if the medical community is interested in my reaction, let them read the fucking post already!!!
I like the Italian name for CH... Cefalea a Grappolo!!!
I'm gonna start telling people that I have Cefalea a Grappolo instead of Cluster Headaches...
Gimme Cappuccino and Cefalea a Grappolo!!!!

I like that too. It needs a short pause after it is spoken, a shifting of the eyes to the left and right and an organ chord played like in the silent films.
"What is it?"
"It's the Cefalea a Grappolo (pause - look right and left - organ chord)"
"No (arm to forehead, head backward), not that (faints at the news)"
I like it very much -- what's the proper pronunciation -- anyone know Italebonics that can help?

LMAO, Rex!
Vowels in Italian are the same as in Spanish.
a - Like the first "o" in octopus
i - Like "i" in "onion"
u - Like the "u" in "tube"
e - Like the "a" sound in "bay"
o - Like the "o" in "row"
(edited for clarification)

chef-A-lea a gra-PPO-lo
that looks funny. Cefalea is pronounced like CHEF l(ike the cook), but with a strong C, then accent on the A, then soft lea " chef-A-lea". Then Grappolo is with a accent on the PPO, with exageration on the P, that' why it's 2 ps.
I'm confusing everyone. Must be the 30 hours without power after hurricane Katrina that has my brain fried.
