Investigation of Xq chromosomal variation in relation to migraine

This research was conducted to expand the understanding of the role of the X chromosome in common and familial typical migraine. The primary objective of this study was to identify new X chromosomal genetic targets that cause migraine. Overall this research has identified nine genetic targets of interest. Various obstacles were encountered throughout this study, but the knowledge gained for overcoming these obstacles are invaluable for implementation and improvement of future genetic studies investigating the X chromosome
