Hi Andy!

 

Migraine is a genetic neurological disease. It cannot be passed from husband to wife, but it can be passed to children. If one of the parents suffer from Migraine, then there is about a 50% chance the child could have Migraines as well. If both parents suffer, then there is a 75% chance of the child having Migraine disease.
