Migraine is a complex disorder with multigenic inheritance and is characterized by the cardinal symptom of unilateral headache. Many genes are responsible for increasing the susceptibility of disease within different populations. Therefore, our primary aim in this review was to catalog the many genes that have been studied in India and after collecting the necessary information, we calculated a more precise risk relationship between an identified variation and migraine.

With a feature of complex pathogenic mechanisms, migraine is a well-known common neurovascular disorder. Multiple genes are responsible for hindering the susceptibility of pain threshold one of which is the eNOS gene and its variants. Multiple independent observational studies with case-control design produced conflicting findings, which can be attributed to a variety of factors including varying sample sizes, demographic stratification, technique application, etc.

Many homeostatic genes are thought to play a role in the susceptibility to migraine, making it a highly complex neurovascular disease. In this meta-analysis, our primary objective was to evaluate whether or not MTHFR variants (such as C677T and A1289C) and ACE I/D were associated with an increased risk of migraine. Using a PRISMA-based systematic literature-review guideline, internet sources such as PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to identify the genes of interest and migraine risk.

Background: Migraine is a complex neurological disorder that is characterized by a "lower threshold of neuronal hyperexcitability" with distinctive periodicity and complex vascular dysfunction. Genetic factors have impacted incredibly on the susceptibility of migraine and one such example is the TNF-α 308G > A.

Aim: Therefore, we aim to provide a glimpse of the association of the TNF-α 308G > A risk on the susceptibility of migraine.

Background: Headache disorders now represent a major public health problem globally. It is more prevalent in developing countries with the rising trends of headache disorders observed in young adults affecting their quality of life negatively. Very little information is available on the epidemiology of headache disorders in the Jammu Division of the north Indian population.
