Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Global gene expression analysis may be used to obtain insights into the functional processes underlying migraine. However, there is a shortage of high-quality post-mortem brain tissue samples for genetic analysis. One approach is to use a more accessible tissue as a surrogate, such as peripheral blood. PURPOSE: Discuss the benefits and caveats of blood genomic profiling in migraine and its potential...
