Results were analyzed for the most likely inheritance pattern, although it should be noted that incomplete penetrance and multifactorial and/or polygenic inheritance patterns cannot be ruled out. In this analysis, we ignored the diagnosis of atypical cluster headache; relatives identified by the original studies as having atypical cluster headache were considered to be unaffected relatives. Numbers in the leftmost column refer to the figure numbers (for Bordini et al12) or pedigree number (for El Amrani et al,26 Kudrow and Kudrow,27 and Sjöstrand et al13). Letters in the leftmost column refer to pedigree letters (for Zarrilli et al41 and Montagna et al38)
