Genetic Factors Affect Migraines in Women

Which resembles a migraine headache is often attacked anyone whether male or female. But the latest study says migraines more often among women because of genetic or hereditary factors. Really?

Migraine is a throbbing headache that often accompanied by nausea, vomiting. Patients are usually sensitive to light, sounds and even smells. Headache is most often only on one side of the head alone, sometimes switch to the other side, but can be on both sides of the head at once.

Although it affects only one of eight people, according to the WHO, migraine has been entered in 20 lifelong physical limitations.

One of the three DNA led to the emergence of migraine in women. This is why women are more often at risk of suffering from migraine.

As reported by the Daily Mail, researchers from Harvard Medical School have examined 23,000 patients who have migraine-related DNA.

The study, published in the journal Nature Genetics reported, does not seem any single gene that affects vision when the headache occurred.

In fact, migraines often accompanied by visual symptoms such as sensitivity to light and blurred vision.

Mark Schurks, one team of researchers say that further large-scale studies to identify genetic risk on the type of migraine and its consequences.

While Aarno Palotie from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge also
conduct the study and said the findings show that migraine is a common disease.

In another study of one scientist to identify why the light makes migraines worse. Thus opening the way to find a cure for sufferers do not have to shut yourself in a dark room when the attack occurred.

People who suffer from migraines are also more susceptible to other health problems. Research has shown, 25% of men who suffer from migraine prone to heart disease and clotted blood is dangerous.
