Summary
Typical migraine, is a frequent, debilitating and painful disorder that affects people during their most productive years (25% of females and 7.5% of males). Women suffering endometriosis (a painful gynecologic disorder affecting up to 10% of women) are at an increased risk of suffering migraine headaches. Our proposed collection of migraine phenotype data on our endometriosis cohort will facilitate identification of genes underlying both disorders.
