Migraine and Genetic Polymorphisms: An Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and migraine as a cause of an increased risk of thrombotic disorders development is still debated In this respect, factor V Leiden, factor V (H1299R), prothrombin G20210A, factor XIII (V34L), β-fibrinogen, MTHFR (C677T), MTHFR (A1298C), APO E, PAI-1, HPA-1 and ACE I/D seem to play a determinant role in vascular diseases related to migraine. The present review analyzes both the incidence of the above genetic vascular mutations in migraineurs and the most re-cent developments related to genetic polymorphisms and migraine.

Hormonally modulated migraine is associated with single-nucleotide polymorphisms within genes involved in dopamine metabolism
Migraine is a complex trait in which multiple genetic loci, as well as environmental factors, likely contribute to its clinical manifestation. Many genetic associations reported in previous studies either have not been replicated to date or showed only marginal statistical significance, possibly due to the genetic heterogeneity of the common forms of migraine. One major phenotypic and possibly ...
متن کاملImpact of ESR1 Gene Polymorphisms on Migraine Susceptibility
An increasing number of studies have explored genetic associations between the functionally important polymorphisms in estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene and migraine susceptibility. The previously reported associations have nevertheless been inconsistent.The present work incorporating the published data derived from 8 publications was performed to assess the impact of these polymorphisms on incid...

Some epidemiological studies have investigated the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of DRD2, COMT, DBH, and MAO-A and migraine susceptibility, but the results are still inconsistent. Thus, our aim was to further assess the association through a meta-analysis.We examined 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 4 genes, including DRD2 rs1799732 and rs6275, DBH rs7239728, MAI-A-VNTR,...

Migraine is a paroxysmal neurologic disorder affecting up to 12% of males and 24% of females in the general population. Two main types are distinguished: migraine without aura (MWOA) and migraine with aura (MWA), in which headache is preceded by transient focal neurologic symptoms (usually visual). Attacks of only MWOA are reported by about 70% of patients with migraine, while at least occasion...

Introduction Migraine is a painful complex neurovascular disease characterized by recurrent moderate-to-severe headaches. Increased level of homocysteine is related to dilation of cerebral vessels and endothelial injury that could trigger migraine attacks. Functional polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene affect homocysteine metabolism and, therefore, play an important role in the etiology of the dise...
