Variability in oxidative stress-related genes (SOD2, CAT, GPX1, GSTP1, NOS3, NFE2L2, and UCP2) and susceptibility to migraine clinical phenotypes and features.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Migraine is a complex disorder with genetic and environmental inputs. Cumulative evidence implicates oxidative stress (OS) in migraine pathophysiology while genetic variability may influence an individuals' oxidative/antioxidant capacity. Aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of eight common OS-related genetic variants [rs4880 (SOD2), rs1001179 (CAT), rs1050450 (GPX1), rs1695 (GSTP1), rs1138272 (GSTP1), rs1799983 (NOS3), rs6721961 (NFE2L2), rs660339 (UCP2)] in migraine susceptibility and clinical features in a South-eastern European Caucasian population.

Methods

Genomic DNA samples from 221 unrelated migraineurs and 265 headache-free controls were genotyped for the selected genetic variants
