The Migraine and Pain Study GeneBank at Scripps Clinic Registry (MAPS)
- Conditions
- Migraine Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT01004835
- Lead Sponsor
- Scripps Translational Science Institute
- Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to obtain blood or saliva samples to define genes for migraine and pain diseases.
- Detailed Description
It is estimated that over one-third of the world's population suffers from persistent or recurrent pain. Migraine is highly heritable and the majority of juveniles who suffer from the disorder have a mother or father who also have the disease. The blood or saliva samples will go through DNA analysis and be sequenced for candidate genes or subjected to whole-genome sequencing. By creating a MAPS GeneBank from these patients' blood/saliva donations we will ultimately be able to define genes for migraine and pain diseases.
