I saw an article in this mornings paper about finding 2 chromosomes that are suspected to be the genetec link to migraine cause.
NOW..BEFORE YOU YELL AT ME..."THESE ARE NOT MIGRAINES"... I'm just saying genetics may be a big part in our clusters, and that a choromose alteration can happen by itself and not be a hereditary link (no family history).
They are doing much more research on migraines than on clusters, likely due to the number of sufferers. However, if they can find such a marker in migraines, it MAY lead to advances in clusters.
It liely won't help a heck of a lot in treatment, but hey....you never know.
