Genetic Variants underlying X-linked familial migraine [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Lyn Griffiths (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Rod Lea ,  Prof Garth Nicholson

Brief description This study is aimed at identifying genetic variants that influence susceptibility to migraine. We plan to use DNA samples already collected from families with multiple migraine affected individuals and sequence a region on the X chromosome that has previously been identified as harbouring a migraine susceptibility gene. This project will identify gene(s) that contain variants contributing to migraine.
