Scoperti geni legati all’emicrania

Individuati per la prima volta geni legati all’emicrania comune, quella ”senz’aura”, che riguarda due terzi degli attacchi di emicrania. In passato, erano stati già individuati geni legati al mal di testa, ma si riferivano all’emicrania con l’aura. I ricercatori del Queensland Institute of Medical Research hanno pubblicato i risultati del loro studio sulla rivista ”Nature Genetics”.

La ricerca ha esaminato il Dna di circa 4800 persone che avevano una storia di emicrania senz’aura, individuano due nuovi geni responsabili del disturbo che corroborano l’ipotesi che il flusso sanguigno giochi un ruolo molto importane nella comparsa del mal di testa.

L’emicrania colpisce una donna ogni sei e un uomo ogni otto, ed è una delle più importanti cause di assenza dal lavoro. Sebbene le sue origini siano tuttora conosciute, si pensa che a scatenarla siano fattori ambientali. L’emicrania si verifica quando i neuroni risponndono in modo anomalo agli stimoli.

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.
