Researchers have discovered some of the main biological causes of migraine by identifying several different genetic regions that are responsible for triggering the attacks.
Migraines affect approximately 14% of adults, it is classed as the seventh disabler in the Global Burden of Disease Survey 2010.
It has been very hard to study the disorder because no biomarkers have been identified during migraine attacks.
However, in this study, the team managed to identify 12 different genetic regions which play a role in the risk of migraine. Eight of the regions control brain circuitries and two maintain healthy brain tissue.
