Women are at a greater risk of migraines, according
to a recent study.
The presence of the two X chromosomes, determiners of the female sex, increases the risk of migraines, researchers revealed.
The presence of the two X chromosomes, determiners of the female sex, increases the risk of migraines, researchers revealed.
The study found that a particular area on the X chromosome has a connection to migraines, due to the presence of a gene, which could be increasing women's susceptibility to the problem.
Lyn Griffiths from Australia's Griffith University, who led the study said, 'These results provide more support for the role of the X chromosome in migraine and may explain why so many more females suffer from the disorder.'
