Using this data, which was taken from 22 genome-wide association studies and included new data from around 35,000 migraine sufferers, the team was able to analyze millions of genetic variants, finding that 38 different genomic regions were associated with migraine. Previous to this only ten of these regions were linked with a susceptibility to migraines.</p><br clear="all"/>
