BackgroundFamily studies and twin studies show that the risk of migraine is 50% inheritance and 50% environment. The identification of genes involved in migraine may give clues to underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. It is equally important to identify the environmental factors, which so far are largely unknown.
Current projectsOne aim of our studies is to identify the genes involved in migraine with aura, familial hemiplegic migraine, and migraine without aura. To date we have collected blood from more than 1400 migraine patients and the molecular genetics analyses have been initiated. In twin studies we try to identify the most important environmental risk factors for migraine. We also study the influence of co-morbidity and secular trends.
