Systematic Review of Prevalence Studies and Familial Aggregation in Vestibular Migraine.

ABSTRACT: Background: Vestibular migraine (VM) is complex disorder consisting of episodes of migraine and vertigo with an estimated prevalence of 1-3%. As migraine, it is considered that VM has genetic predisposition; however, evidence to support a genetic contribution has not been critically appraised. Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to assess available evidence in scientific publications to determine the role of inheritance in VM. Methods: After performing the quality assessment of the retrieved records, 31 studies were included (24 epidemiological reports and 7 genetic association studies in families or case-control in candidate genes). We gathered data about prevalence of VM in different populations and in families, and also about the genetic findings reporte
