Full Question:
Is migraine transferred genetically? Kamran.
Answer:
Dear Kamran;
Yes. If Migraine disease is present in one parent's family history, a child has a 50% chance of inheriting it. If Migraine is in the family history of both parents, that increases to 75%.
Good luck,
John Claude Krusz and Teri Robert
