The molecular genetics of migraine and depression

Genetics of migraine and depression

Genetic factors are known to contribute to most human traits and disease. The aim of this project is to identify and study the role of genetic factors in risk to both migraine (a painful, throbbing headache disorder that can cause nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound) and depression (a constant feeling of dejection and loss, which stops you doing your normal activities).
