| 06-2012 | Identified for the first time four genes that predispose to suffer migraine without aura.Researchers from the migraine and neurological pain group and the Paediatric Neurology group at Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) and from the Genetics Department at the Universitat of Barcelona (UB) and CIBER-ER have taken part, inside the International Consortium of Genetics of the Migraines, in the first complete study of the genome (GWAS) made in migraine without aura, identifying four genes related to the predisposition to present the most frequent type of migraine: MEF2D, TGFBR2, PHACTR1 and ASTN2.
