Genome-wide analysis reveals new insights into the genetic basis of migraine
A new study published in the journal Nature Genetics has shed light on the genetic basis of migraine. The study conducted a genome-wide analysis of over 500,000 individuals, including those with and without a history of migraine. The genome-wide analysis identified 118 genetic loci associated with migraine, of which 30 were newly discovered. The study also found that the genetic architecture of migraine is complex, involving multiple genetic pathways and shared genetic risk with other disorders such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia. The findings provide important insights into the biological mechanisms underlying migraine and could lead to the development of new treatments.
