Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms in migraine, we analyzed the APOE genotypes of 241 migraine patients and 587 controls. The results of a Chi-square analysis indicated that APOE alleles were similarly distributed (chi(2)=2.89, P=0.24) between cases and controls. However, we found a significant (P<0.001) increase of the varepsilon2-varepsilon4 genotype in the group of migraine...
