Abstract

BACKGROUND: Migraine is a common neurological disorder which affects a large proportion of the population. The Norfolk Island population is a genetically isolated population and is an ideal discovery cohort for genetic variants involved in complex disease susceptibility given the reduced genetic and environmental heterogeneity. Given that the majority of proteins responsible for mitochondrial function are nuclear encoded, this study aimed to investigate the role of Nuclear Encoded Mitochondrial Protein (NEMP) genes in relation to migraine susceptibility.

METHODS: A gene-centric association analysis of NEMP genes was undertaken in the most related individuals (

RESULTS: The discovery phase of the study implicated SNPs in 5 NEMP genes to be associated with migraine susceptibility (

CONCLUSION: Here we provide evidence that variation in NEMP genes is associated with migraine susceptibility. This study provides evidence for a link between mitochondrial function and migraine susceptibility.
