In a paper published on May 1 in Science Translational Medicine, the team linked the mutation with evidence of migraine in humans, in a mouse model of migraine and in cell culture in the laboratory.
The mutation is in the gene known as casein kinase I delta (CKIdelta).
“This is the first gene in which mutations have been shown to cause a very typical form of migraine,” said senior investigator Louis J. Ptá
