Takeaway
Genetics analyses reveal extensive biologic commonality between migraine and cervical artery dissection.
Why this matters ?
Migraine, stroke, and cervical artery dissection are a triad of cerebrovascular disorders with vascular involvement; however, the extent of their shared genetics is unknown.
The findings of this unique study provide further insights into the vascular mechanisms leading to susceptibility to the three brain disorders which could ultimately lead to improved detection and treatment.
