We performed genetic studies, both linkage and association, to localize the gene/genes responsible for the commonest form of migraine with and without aura. The linkage analysis prompted us to exclude several candidate genes, and the surrounding chromosomal regions, as sites of migraine loci: 5HT1D (1p36), 5HT1B (6q13), 5HT2A (13q14-q21), 5HT Trans and CACNL1B (17q11-q22), CACNL1A4 (19q13), SCNA1,2,3,6 (2q24), CACNL1A1,KCNA1, KC-NA5,KCNA6 (12p13). Association studies were performed between migraine and polymorphic markers within dopamine related genes: dopamine D2 and D3 receptor, monoamino-oxidase A and cathecol-omethyltransferase. We found no statistical difference in the allele frequencies between migraine and control sample.

Abstract
We performed genetic studies, both linkage and association, to localize the gene/genes responsible for the commonest form of migraine with and without aura. The linkage analysis prompted us to exclude several candidate genes, and the surrounding chromosomal regions, as sites of migraine loci: 5HT1D (1p36), 5HT1B (6q13), 5HT2A (13q14-q21), 5HT Trans and CACNL1B (17q11-q22), CACNL1A4 (19q13), SCNA1,2,3,6 (2q24), CACNL1A1,KCNA1, KC-NA5,KCNA6 (12p13). Association studies were performed between migraine and polymorphic markers within dopamine related genes: dopamine D2 and D3 receptor, monoamino-oxidase A and cathecol-omethyltransferase. We found no statistical difference in the allele frequencies between migraine and control sample.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
