Migraine cause 'identified' as genetic defect
by Tee Fri Apr 29, 2011 6:00 am
Scientists have identified a genetic defect linked to migraine which could provide a target for new treatments.
A flawed gene found in a family of migraine sufferers could help trigger the severe headaches, a study in Nature Medicine suggests.
Dr Zameel Cader of the University of Oxford said the discovery was a step forward in understanding why one in five people suffers from migraines.
