New and sex-specific migraine susceptibility loci identified from a multiethnic genome-wide meta-analysis

Abstract

Hélène Choquet et al. identify novel loci associated with migraine in a large multiethnic genome-wide meta-analysis. They find 79 loci associated with migraine, including 45 which have not been previously reported and 3 that were specific to women, and which may lead to an improved understanding of migraine etiology.
