Abstract:
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported in patients with migraine. We investigated leukocyte mitochondrial DNA 11084 A to G polymorphism in 166 Japanese migraineurs and 483 Japanese controls. The migraine group consisted of 43 patients suffering from migraine with aura (MWA) and 123 from migraine without aura (MOA). The frequency of the transition was 7.2% (12/166) in the migraine group and 7.3% (35/483) in the controls. The frequency of the transition was 4.7% in MWA and 8.1% in MOA. There was no significant difference among the groups (chi-square test). The mitochondrial DNA 11084 A to G transition was more common in Japanese subjects than reported in Caucasians; however, this polymorphism is not a genetic risk factor for migraine in Japanese patients.
