But I will quote from the Daily Mail (actually this quote appears in most of the reports) but as my friend Fiona pointed out - their article is a wee bit more accurate than the good old BBC....wonders never cease.
"Lead author Dr Aarno Palotie, whose study is published in the journal Nature Genetics, said: ‘This study has greatly advanced our biological insight about the cause of migraine. Migraine and epilepsy are particularly difficult neural conditions to study; between episodes the patient is basically healthy so it’s extremely difficult to uncover biochemical clues.’
Dr Palotie, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which is based in Cambridge, said: ‘We are narrowing down the areas that cause migraines.
‘In the future, we will be able to look at an individual’s DNA profile and target them with a more personalised, tailored treatment, rather than a fix all.’"
