SNP variants within the vanilloid TRPV1 and TRPV3 receptor genes are associated with migraine in the Spanish population

The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of non‐selective cationic channels are involved in several processes plausibly relevant to migraine pathophysiology, including multimodal sensory and pain perception, central and peripheral sensitization, and regulation of calcium homeostasis.

Description
Summary:The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of non‐selective cationic channels are involved in several processes plausibly relevant to migraine pathophysiology, including multimodal sensory and pain perception, central and peripheral sensitization, and regulation of calcium homeostasis. With the aim of identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TRP genes that may confer increased genetic susceptibility to migraine, we carried out a case–control genetic association study with replication, including a total of 1,040 cases and 1,037 controls. We genotyped 149 SNPs covering 14 TRP genes with known brain expression. The two‐stage study comprised samples of 555 and 485 Spanish, Caucasian patients, selected according to the ICHD‐II criteria for the diagnosis of migraine without aura (MO) or migraine with aura (MA). In the discovery sample, 19 SNPs in ten TRP genes showed nominal association (P
