Genome Medicine | Abstract | Towards an understanding of genetic predisposition to migraine

genomemedicine.com — “Plausible genome-wide associations for episodic neurological diseases (such as migraine, epilepsy and ataxias) have been slow to emerge. The first such association was reported in a recent genome-wide association study of migraine, with quantitative expression analysis linking the variant to a nearby regulatory gene, MTDH/AEG-1. This putative mechanism, regulating the expression of the primary glutamate transporter in the brain, EAAT2/GLT-1, has interesting implications bridging the gap between ” View full resource at genomemedicine.com

NHS Evidence - Neurological conditions - Behind the headlines - Migraines linked to genetics

library.nhs.uk — “Scientists have discovered genes that may be behind migraines, opening the door to a cure, reported the Daily Mirror. The newspaper said that these genes normally control the levels of a brain chemical called glutamate, but a variant form of the gene may lead to a build-up of glutamate within the nerve cells. According to the paper, halting this build-up could help stop migraines. The study behind this story scanned the DNA of several thousand people with and without a history of migraine. It co” View full resource at library.nhs.uk
