Griffith University Health Institute in Australia has released
genetic research news that provided new clues for people with
Migraine. Professor Lyn Griffiths led a tem who identified a new
region on the X chromosome as playing a role in Migraine
disease. (Females have two X chromosomes; males have one X
chromosome and one Y chromosome.) Research into the genetics of
Migraine has become very important because it may address some
of our more pressing problems: - There are currently no
diagnostic tests to confirm a diagnosis of Migraine. Genetic
testing is still complex and expensive, but as genetic research
and science progress, genetic testing may well become both
common and affordable. That could mean a simple blood test to
diagnose Migraine. - We have not one single treatment on the
market that was originally developed for Migraine prevention.
The future could easily hold targeted treatments for many
diseases based on genetics. The research also points toward the
involvement of a new Migraine susceptibility
